Heidegger and environmental ethics
No full textThis thesis presents an environmental ethic based on the philosophy of Martin Heidegger. Chapter One uses Heidegger's conception of 'dwelling' as the basis for a satisfying account of the 'otherness' or alterity of nature. Chapter Two draws upon Heidegger's writings on 'the dif-ference', Madhyamaka Buddhist philosophy and the metaphysics of Alfred North Whitehead to develop a 'dialectical' conception of holism which can accommodate both the account of alterity presented in Chapter One and an account of the intrinsic value of individual beings. Chapter Three frames this conception of environmental holism in terms of ethics. It is argued that Heidegger's ideal of 'releasement' can be thought of as an essential 'function' of humans, the exercise of which promotes human flourishing. Extending this Aristotelian line of reasoning, it is shown how one can draw upon Heidegger's philosophy to articulate a form of environmental virtue ethic. Chapter Four investigates the charge that Heidegger's later thought is quietistic, a general allegation which is analysed into four interrelated specific charges: 1) the accusation that Heidegger is advocating a passive withdrawal from the world; 2) Adorno's charge in Negative Dialectics that Heidegger's philosophy is inimical to critical thought; 3) the objection that Heidegger is unable to deal adequately with either interhuman relations or the relations between humans and nonhuman animals; and 4) the charge that Heidegger's later writings cannot be brought to bear upon practical environmental issues. In answer to this last objection, case studies are presented of two environmental issues: 1) the environmental impact of tourism; and 2) the practice of environmental restoration
Earthsongs: ecopoetics, Heidegger and dwelling
No full textThis paper discusses the notion of ecopoetics in relation to the work of Martin Heidegger and his concept of dwelling. Our aim, broadly stated, is to respond to the question: "What frame of mind could bring about sustainability - and how might we develop it?" In the first part of the paper, we comment on Jonathan Bate's notion of ecopoetics and his discussion of Heidegger. Crucial here is the question of whether we can ever approach Nature in an non-ideological way or are all attempts to capture Nature, theoretically or poetically or narratively, nothing more than our own peculiar appropriation of it? Ecopoetics might be conceived as a response to this question, although we dispute Bate's view. In the second part of the paper, following Micheal Haar's perceptive reading, we elaborate the four senses that Heidegger gives to Nature, and in the third section, we make some concluding comments about the notion of sustainability that might be explicated in relation to Heidegger's four senses of Nature
Nilhilism in Nietzsche, Heidegger and Levinas
No full textThis thesis presents an account of nihilism in the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, and a critical response to it using the philosophies of Martin Heidegger and Emmanuel Levinas. Chapter one gives an account of the three different types of nihilism in Nietzsche’s writings, and of how the latest outbreak of nihilism, modern European, came about. Chapter two presents Nietzsche's own responses to modern European nihilism, focusing on the overman, the will to power, the eternal recurrence and his view of truth, and points out the disturbing ethical implications of Nietzsche's responses to nihilism. Chapter three places Nietzsche’s philosophy within the context of Heidegger's account of nihilism as 'forgetfulness of Being', and considers Heidegger's critique of Nietzsche and the notion of 'values', Heidegger's account of the philosophical tradition since Plato, and his reflection on our ‘technological' understanding of Being as an inevitable result of the 'forgetfulness of Being’. Chapter four discusses how Being and Time and its critique of Descartes and the subject-object distinction can be seen as a response to nihilism as the 'forgetfulness of Being՝, and as an implicit part of Heidegger's critique of Nietzsche. Chapter five considers Heidegger’s response to nihilism in terms of his writings on authenticity, art, language, and thinking, and shows how all of these features of Heidegger's thought aim to attune us to Being as the mysterious 'source' of all particular understandings of being, a source to which we are beholden for the sense we are able to make in our lives. The potentially dangerous features of this picture of human life are then addressed, as is the lack of an explicitly ethical dimension to Heidegger's response to Nietzsche's explicitly ethical account of nihilism. Chapter six gives an account of Levinas's phenomenology of ethics and his critique of Heidegger and the philosophical tradition as 'philosophies of the Same'. It presents Levinas's theses concerning the importance of the other person in giving philosophical accounts of language, truth, and objectivity, and the heteronomous nature of the moral subject, as a way of making good the lack of an explicitly ethical response to Nietzschean nihilism in Heidegger’s philosophy

Dead time: Cinema, Heidegger, and boredom
No full textThis article explores cinematic boredom. It investigates how feature films exemplify prevailing cultural attitudes towards boredom, and suggests that dominant cinema's fear of being ‘boring’ reflects a cultural refusal to address the implications of time passing. Most feature films kill time. The article analyses how and why they do so, and then explores what happens when a film refuses to kill time. By engaging with temporality, a film may risk being called ‘boring’ but it may also perform the important cultural role of encouraging us to reflect on the limited time-span of our own lives
The temporality of language : Kant's legacy in the work of Martin Heidegger and Walter Benjamin
No full textContrary to the idea that there are fundamental differences between the
work of Martin Heidegger and Walter Benjamin, the thesis shows that
there exists a profound similarity in the direction of their projects, by
exploring how they took up Kant's critical legacy concerning the
temporality of language: the belonging together of language and time.
The ground of Kant's system and of the necessity of systematicity - the
three-fold synthesis which 'generates' time under the direction of
conceptuality - is elucidated via the Second Analogy and the Critique of
Teleological Judgment. It is argued that Kant's understanding of language
and time remains fixed within a circular justification of Newtonian
Science, which prevented him from taking up the critical resources of his
treatment of teleological concepts and applying it to his idea of the
critical system itself. Heidegger's and Benjamin's work may be understood
as taking up the hermeneutic circularity of Kant's philosophical system,
though freeing it from its appeal to a limited time determination. They
both develop notions of a more originary temporality in conjunction with
a linguistic phenomenology. They further allow this more critical
thinking of language and time to reflexively fall back on the writing of
philosophy itself. Their understanding of the temporality of language is
explored through the way 'translation' focuses, in each case, a thinking
of tradition and of linguistic works. The thesis rejects attempts to
separate Heidegger's early work from his later approach, and further
rejects a tendency to focus on Benjamin's style of writing in isolation
from its theoretical basis. The thesis concludes by arguing that the
work of both Heidegger and Benjamin points to a rethinking of Kant's
legacy of the necessity of system, in terms of system as the inescapable
belonging together of language and time
The eclipse of being: Heidegger on the question of being and nothing and the ground of nihilism
No full textThis thesis explores Heidegger’s philosophy of Being and Nothing in the context of the problem of nihilism. Nietzsche diagnosed the present age as an age of nihilism in the sense of a ‘devaluation of the highest values’. Heidegger argues that Nietzsches’s diagnosis suffers from a fundamental failure to question the meaning of ‘nihil’ in ‘nihilism’. This failure is, according to Heidegger, shared by the history of metaphysics which Nietzsche brings to completion, and it is closely connected with the failure of metaphysics to address the question of Being as such.
We shall examine the emergence of Heidegger’s early phenomenological approach to the question of Being in his engagement and confrontation with Husserl’s phenomenology, and trace its subsequent development in major writings of his. It will be argued that Heidegger’s philosophy of Being permits for the first time a more adequate understanding of the problem of Nothing. Throughout the thesis, the horizon of the discussion is the question of the meaning and the ground of nihilism, which will also be addressed explicitly through an examination of Heidegger’s confrontation with Nietzsche

A temporalidade do ser-acadêmico-de-enfermagem na experiência do cuidado: uma interpretação em Heidegger
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Enfermagem, Florianópolis, 2012.Pesquisa fenomenológica de caráter qualitativo, fundamentada no referencial teórico- filosófico de Martin Heidegger, teve como objetivo desvelar a temporalidade do ser-acadêmico-de-enfermagem em sua experiência de cuidado. Os sujeitos do estudo foram dez acadêmicos que cursavam a terceira fase do Curso de Graduação em Enfermagem da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Os dados foram coletados nos meses de março a maio de 2011, por meio da entrevista fenomenológica, a qual foi audiogravada e transcrita posteriormente. No referencial metodológico, foram utilizados os pressupostos da hermenêutica heideggeriana sob três enfoques: a pré-compreensão, considerada como a aproximação teórica do fenômeno do ser-acadêmico-de-enfermagem, o cuidado e a aproximação com os conceitos envolvidos na temática. A compreensão envolveu a descrição historiográfica dos eventos relatados pelo ser-acadêmico-de-enfermagem por meio da estratégia do "Movimento da Temporalidade". Por fim, temos a interpretação do fenômeno, por meio da historicidade do ser-acadêmico-de-enfermagem, registrada em forma de quatro manuscritos: 1) Vivências de cuidado do ser-acadêmico-de-enfermagem:história,cultura e tradição em Heidegger e Gadamer; 2) Historicidade e historiografia do ser-acadêmico-de-enfermagem na construção do cuidado em Heidegger; 3) Temporalidade: o existir e a perspectiva da finitude para o ser-acadêmico-de-enfermagem ao experienciar a morte; 4) A escolha profissional de ser enfermeiro como possibilidade de cuidado autêntico. O ser-acadêmico-de-enfermagem é um ser vinculado com o cuidado, percebe a si mesmo e ao outro como possibilidade para desenvolver suas potencialidades como ser-no-mundo. Ser autêntico, vinculado à cultura e à tradição familiar, preocupa-se, quer tornar-se um profissional de enfermagem comprometido com tudo o que a envolve. Pensa o cuidado como possibilidade de estar junto com o outro, ajudando carinhosamente, amorosamente, em todos os espaços em que essas situações se apresentem. É um ser temporal, reconhece a sua finitude e a do outro. Como um ser-para-a-morte, experiência a dor e o sofrimento da perda em sua vida. Conclui-se que o ser-acadêmico-de-enfermagem é um ser rico em possibilidades para o cuidado. Mostra-se por vezes ser inautêntico e vive a cotidianidade, mas, por outro lado, às vezes, desvela-se como um ser autêntico, vinculado às coisas de seu tempo.Abstract : This is a phenomenological qualitative research, based upon theoretical-philosophical referential of Martin Heidegger, with the aim of unveil the temporality of being-of-academic-nursing in care experience.Ten students of the third semester of the Nursing Course at Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina were the subjects of this study. Data were collected from March to May 2011, by means of phenomenological interviews, which were audiotaped and later transcribed. For the methodological referential, Heideggerian hermeneutical assumptions were undertaken under three approaches: pre-understanding, considered as the theoretical approximation of the phenomenon of being-a-nursing-student, care and approximation with concepts involved in the thematic. Understanding involved historiographical description of events reported by the being-a-nursing-student where Movement of Temporality strategy was adopted. Lastly, there was the interpretation of the phenomenon, through historicity of being-a-nursing-student, registered as four manuscripts: 1) Experiences of care of be student-in-nursing: history, culture and tradition of Heidegger and Gadamer; 2) Historicity and historiography of be-nursing-student built care in Heidegger; 3)Temporality: existence and the perspective of finitude to be-student-nursing by experiencing death; 4) Expectations with the professional choice: nursing as a possibility of authentic care. Being-a-nursing-student is a human being bound to care, understands oneself and the other as a possibility to develop one#s own potentialities as a being-in-the-world. Being authentic, bound to culture and family traditions, he/she is concerned and wishes to become a nursing professional committed with all that it takes. Thinks about care as being together with the other, tenderly and lovingly caring, wherever these situations occur. A temporal being, recognizes one#s finitude as well as the finitude of others. As a being-prone-to-die, pain and suffering due to loss in life are experienced. The conclusion is that being-a-nursing-student is a human being rich in caring possibilities. Sometimes he/she is seen as unauthentic and living common everyday life, but, on the other hand, sometimes reveals oneself as an authentic being, bound to contemporary things
