A genialidade é sempre difícil de explicar... Muitos autores no afã de explicar o pensamento de um filósofo resgatam seu meio familiar, social, cultural, acadêmico, etc.

Dentre estas tentativas, no tocante a Martin Heidegger, cabe menção o trabalho em andamento dos acadêmicos: Daniel Fidel Ferrer e Dr. Alfred Denker. Trata-se de uma compilação não apenas da biografia sumária dos mestres de Heidegger em seu percurso de formação acadêmica, mas também da tentativa de disponibilizar a obra, ou alguma referência na Internet à obra, destes mestres.

VISITE: Martin Heidegger -- Teachers

Dentre as tentativas de explicar o pensamento de Heidegger por suas leituras e diálogos com pensadores que o antecederam, esta é mais uma que se vale do fato da "habilitação" de Heidegger ter tratado da "Teoria das Categorias e do Significado em Duns Scotus". Embora, como afirma o autor, o texto sobre o qual Heidegger estaria dialogando com Duns Scotus hoje não se considere mais como de sua autoria, este confronto com a escolástica e através dela com o pensamento de Aristóteles, seria fundamentador de de suas prmeiras elaborações sobre a "questão do ser".

Os filósofos buscaram compreender Heidegger em termos de sua "única grande idéia" - ser, está na hora de compreendê-lo a respeito de sua segunda grande idéia - Ereignis.

Este ensaio discute o seminário de 1931-32 oferecido por Heidegger, sobre a Essência da Verdade. Argumenta que a leitura dada por Heidegger às "idéias" platônicas, as enquadra não apenas como fundamentadoras da tradição filosófica ocidental, privilegiando a conceitualização sobre a prática, mas também se afirma como uma das primeiras tentativas de estudar a verdade como experiência fundamental de "des-encobrimento".

Em Ser e Tempo, Heidegger afirma que estar-com ou ser-com (Mitsein) é uma constituição essencial do Dasein, mas não submete este existencial a mesma análise rigorosa que os outros existenciais. Neste ensaio, Jean-Luc Nancy aponta os diferentes momentos em que Heidegger deixa de lado a possibilidade de pensar um "com" essencial que ele mesmo deu abertura. Este deixar de lado, de acordo com Nancy, se deve à subordinação do Mitsein a um modo de pensar o próprio e o impróprio, o autêntico e o inautêntico.

Considerado mais do que uma assistente de Husserl, mas um co-pensador da fenomenologia em constituição, o mérito deste ensaio está no resgate de suas reflexões sore "mundo".

Sobre a possível influência do pensamento de Schleiermacher na concepção de "ereignis".

MARTIN HEIDEGGER'S CONCEPT OF THE EREIGNIS has fascinated and puzzled interpreters of his philosophy. The strangeness of this concept is illustrated by the number of different translations. It has been rendered as "event of appropriation," "enowning," "happening," and "emergence" - and this list of translations is far from complete. Various explanations for the background of this term have been given, including the Eastern concept of Tao.

Reflexão sobre os termos logos e mathemata conforme expostos por Heidegger, em "Uma introdução à metafísica" e "O que é uma coisa?".

In Einführung in die Metaphysik (EM) Heidegger describes the advent of metaphysics by analyzing in detail the transition from the pre-socratic logos to what since Aristotle has come to be known as logic; in Die Frage nach dem Ding (DFD) (and in Heidegger 1950a ) the same story is told but this time by focusing on the decisive role of mathematics. EM mentions mathematics only indicidently, and not in the specific meaning of DFD; and to a lesser degree the same is true for logos in DFD. In both EM and DFD what makes Heidegger's presentation especially interesting is the original way he translates key terms from Greek thought, specifically logos and ta mathemata.

The interaction of logos and mathesis in Heidegger's account of the advent of metaphysics

D.G. Leahy

With reference to the Platonic notion of the Good as ‘beyond being’, Heidegger writes in Contributions to Philosophy (From Enowning), trans. P. Emad and K. Maly (Bloomington and Indianapolis, 1999), pp. 146f.: "In beingness (ουσία) ειναι, being, is intimated as what is somehow other, which is not fully fulfilled in ουσία. Thus, in going further on the same way, i.e., by grasping presencing, one tries to go beyond beingness: επέκεινα της ουσίας . . . . But since the only question concerns beings and their beingness, it can never encounter be-ing itself or come from it. The επέκεινα can thus be determined only as something that henceforth designates beingness as such in its relation to man (ευδαιμονία), as the αγαθόν, befitting [das Taugliche] that founds all befittedness—thus as condition for ‘life’, for ψυχή, and thus its essence itself . . . . The επέκεινα της ουσίας as αγαθόν (that means: the fundamental denial of any further and orginary questioning of beings as such, i.e., questioning of being) . . ."

Beyond the Good: Not Hither the Good (& Not Hither Beyond the Good)

Joseph S. O'Leary

Is God the ground of the universe, the ground of our being? Has this question any meaning? Like so many religious questions it is tantalizingly obscure. Under analysis each of its terms dissolves into the thinnest of mists, which we no longer much like to hail as the thickest of mysteries. What is God? What is ‘the universe’? What is ground? What is ‘our being’? The tone of these questions is now more likely to be one of irritated puzzlement than one of reverent wonder. One is tempted to jettison all these determinations as survivals of an older metaphysical culture, or to regard them as only murky expressions of religious sentiment: Faust’s Gefühl ist alles;/ Name ist Schall und Rauch. Some theologians attempt to rethink theism by dissolving God into Buddhist emptiness or into the Lacanian Real. God then becomes a quality of things rather than their creative foundation and cause.

Theological Resonances of " Der Satz vom Grund "

Michael Eldred

This paper traces Heidegger's thinking on the divine from early to late, calling at some of the salient stations along the way, starting with the 1920s lectures on Plato and Aristotle. One major point of call is Hegel's dialectical-speculative thinking of the Absolute which Heidegger will characterize as onto-theo-logic. In overcoming the hyphen between 'onto' and 'theo', Heidegger will neutralize the venerable metaphysical ambiguity between the ontic and the ontological and hence also between the ontological and theological. This clears the way for thinking the Absolute as the divine embedded prosaically, at home in the everyday itself. How close the uncanny divine is to home is apparent also in Heidegger's retelling of the anecdote about Heraclitus in the kitchen. The trace ends with a brief comment on "the last god". The appendix following endeavours to rethink Aristotle's famous god and godliness in his Metaphysics.

Philosophy 185 Heidegger
11:00-12:30 PM | 159 Mulford
Instructor Hubert Dreyfus

Philosophy 185 - Fall 2007 - One of the most important philosophical works of the twentieth century, Being and Time is both a systematization of the existential insights of Kierkegaard and Nietzsche and a radicalization of Husserl's phenomenological account of intentionality. What results is an original interpretation of the human condition leading to an account of the nature and limitations of philosophical and scientific theory. This account has important implications for all those disciplines that study human beings.
