The impossible moral in Heidegger is based on two fundamental facts: firstly, that Heidegger devoted himself to the theme of being. All other issues, thesis or questions derive from that fundamental and unique “question about the meaning of Being”. Secondly, the ontological question in Heidegger wasn’t the question for the entity, but the question for the Being. On these bases, “The impossible moral” in Heidegger arises from his initial ontological argumentation from which all other structures derive and that Heidegger tries to separate from each anthropological, psychological or biological matter. In fact, we may suggest that an ethical approach in Heidegger could only arise from the exegesis of the structural whole of the “being-in-the-world”. This would happen by apprehending the original being of the “being-there” as “care” that isn’t anything else that the manifestation of the following features: “being-with” and “being one’s self”. All these without forgetting that Being and time has an ontological fundamental intention. Finally, “The impossible moral” in Heidegger is given by his radical antihumanism.

Nosso objetivo é refletir sobre a constituição ontológico-existencial da corporeidade em Heidegger, a partir da estrutura ser-no-mundo e dos existenciais da mundanidade do mundo, disposição e compreender. Nossa hipótese consiste em que a corporeidade é um modo de ser e, portanto, um existencial da presença (Dasein). Primeiramente, analisaremos a importância e as dificuldades relativas ao tema da corporeidade no pensamento heideggeriano, ao mesmo tempo em que indicaremos a viabilidade da temática proposta. Em seguida, discutiremos o caráter de abertura dos existenciais com o intuito de estabelecermos o nexo ontológico entre estas aberturas. Com isto, pretendemos esclarecer porque a corporeidade é um existencial que estrutura a presença em modos de ser. Fundamentados nos Seminários de Zollikon e em Ser e tempo discutiremos a relação entre espacialidade e corporeidade existencial, através das características constitutivas de direcionamento, distanciamento e proximidade. Por fim, apontaremos que a constituição ontológico-existencial da corporeidade é, ao mesmo tempo, uma constituição hermenêutica da corporeidade.Abstract: Our aim is to reflect over the ontological and existential constitution of corporeity in Heidegger in the lighit of the being-in-the-world structure as well as of the existentials of the mundanity of the world, disposition and conunderstanding. Our hypothesis is that corporeity is a mode of being and, therefore, an existential of the being-there (Dasein). First of all, we will analyze the importance and difficulties related to the issue of corporeity in Heideggerian thought, and indicate the viability of the proposed theme. We will then discuss the openness characteristic of existentials, in order to establish the ontological connection between them. This approach will help us clarify why corporeity is an existential that structures the being-there into modes of being. Taking as a basis the Zollikon Seminars and Being and Time, we will discuss the relationship between spaciality and existential corporeity, through the constitutive characteristics of direction (“directioning”), distanciation and proximity. Finally, we will point that the ontological-existential constitution of corporeity is also a hermeneutic constitution of corporeity.

Following claims that Being and Time was essentially philosophical anthropology, and questions about the embodiment and mortality of Dasein, and Heidegger recurred to the distinction between humans who, as being-there, create a “world” for themselves and confront their death resolutely, versus animals who are caught up in their natural environments and do not die so much as “perish” biologically. In 1929 he studied the work of gestalt biologists like Jakob von Uexküll to support his arguments for the world-poverty of animals, unable hermeneutically to forge a real “world.” By 1936, nevertheless, his logic faltered when he argued that the age of technology and giganticism had reduced most humans to mere “technicized animals.” Even if this was a rhetorical flourish, it remained that only an anxious few remained among us who could dwell poetically and be free for their death, an idea with significant implications for the metaphysical politics Heidegger developed in response to Nazi politics. By 1949, the technicized animal—poor in world—appeared to perish with no greater resoluteness and dignity than its animal relatives.

Being There

This article examines Martin Heidegger's concept of conscience in Being and Time as it is manifested by the characters Don Draper from the television series Mad Men (Matthew Weiner, 2007-2013) and Chauncey Gardiner in the film Being There (Hal Ashby, 1979). The article suggests that Draper hears and occasionally responds to what Heidegger terms the “call of conscience,” whereas Gardiner neither hears this call nor responds to it. Gardiner poses a problem case for Heidegger’s account of Dasein by virtue of failing to exhibit conscience. A question latent in Gardiner’s makeup is what causes him to be this way. The contrast of the characters Draper and Gardiner is approached through the lens of the portrayal of secret identity in filmic media. Both characters live public lives that are at odds with their genuine selves, but they react to this disconnect differently. Core concepts addressed vis-a-vis Heidegger’s account of conscience include facticity, falling, discourse, authenticity, and death. The article concludes that Draper hears and responds to conscience’s call because he has a discursive comprehension of the disconnect between his true self and the public life he has lived; a crucial component of the phenomenon of conscience according to Heidegger is the existential capacity for discourse. Gardiner, in contrast, does not hear conscience at all because his Dasein lacks the discursive element that conscience requires in order to be activated. Gardiner’s being-in-the-world is such that he fails to understand the divide between his lived self and his public self. For Gardiner, these are the same.

History Of

In his later work, Heidegger argued that Western history involved a sequence of distinct understandings of being and correspondingly distinct worlds. Dreyfus illustrates several distinct world styles by contrasting Greek, industrial, and technological practices for using equipment. By reading Being and Time in the light of Heidegger’s later concerns with the history of being, Dreyfus shows how Heidegger’s own account of equipment in Being and Time helped set the stage for technology by encouraging an understanding of being that leaves equipment and natural objects open to a technological reorganization of the world into a standing reserve of resources. Seen in the light of the relation of nature and technology revealed by later Heidegger, Being and Time appears in the history of the being of equipment not just as a transition but as the decisive step toward technology.

This chapter begins with a systematic presentation of the doctrine of actualism. According to actualism, all that exists is actual, determinate, and of one way of being. There are no possible objects, nor is there any indeterminacy in the world. In addition, there are no ways of being. It is proposed that actual entities stand in three fundamental relations: mereological, spatiotemporal, and resemblance relations. These relations govern the fundamental entities. Each fundamental entity stands in parthood relations, spatiotemporal relations, and resemblance relations to other entities. The resulting picture is one that represents the world as a four-dimensional manifold of actual ‘qualitied contents’—upon which all else supervenes. It is then explained how actualism accounts for classes, quantity, number, causation, laws, a priori knowledge, necessity, and induction.

The Relationship

Although the question of relationship between basic concepts of traditional ontology and central concepts of fundamental ontology is not a topic which is systematically dealt with in Being and Time, it is obvious that some of the theses which are crucial not only for Heidegger's interpretation of philosophical tradition, but also for the whole project of fundamental ontology, concern this 'conceptual scheme'. In fact, the backbone of Heidegger's critical confrontation with dominant philosophical conceptions is the question of relationship between the concept of 'substance' and the concept of 'Being', i.e. the discussion of philosophical doctrines in which 'Being' is reduced to 'substance'. Besides this context, which concerns the ontological problematics in the strict sense, it is possible to show that the refutation of the basic categories of traditional ontology is an issue which has a decisive role in more concrete phases of the realization of the project of fundamental ontology. This is especially confirmed in Heidegger's discussion of the concept of 'Being-There'. The interpretation of Heidegger's treatment of the relationship between the concepts of 'Being-there', 'existence' and 'existentials' on the one hand, and the concepts of 'substance', 'essence' and 'categories' on the other, shows that one of Heidegger's basic theses is that a transformation of concepts of traditional ontology is necessary for an appropriate understanding of human being.

RESUMENEste trabajo tiene como objetivo principal demostrar que la relación de Heidegger con el nazismo no es externa a su pensamiento, sino interna. También quiere hacer comprender la profunda identidad que hay entre sus Escritos Políticos y la tarea político-cultural de la hermenéutica del origen (1922). Así, pues, no existe ningún «salto» entre la década de los veinte y la de los treinta sino una elocuente continuidad filosófico-política. Y, por último, demuestra que, al menos para el propio Heidegger, tanto el «adiestramiento» como la «selección racial» del hombre deben estar constitutivamente legalizados en la nueva realidad de Alemania; pero no por factores «biológicos» propios de la ciencia moderna, sino porque es «metafísicamente necesario» para la Sorge o cuidado del ser de Occidente. Siendo lo más original de este trabajo el descubrimiento de la relación entre la selección racial y su obra maestra Ser y Tiempo. Mientras que el método que seguiré será el de focalizar tres momentos decisivos, aunque no los únicos, de la obra de Heidegger mediante los que podemos comprender las razones filosóficas por las que la figura de Heidegger se va a convertir en unos de los intelectuales al servicio del régimen.PALABRAS CLAVEHEIDEGGER, NAZISMO, SER Y TIEMPO, SELECCIÓN RACIALABSTRACTThe main objective of this paper is to prove that Heidegger’s relationship with Nazism is not external to his thought, but internal. We want to explain the deep identity between his Political Writings and the political-cultural task of the hermeneutics of origin (1922). Therefore, there isn’t any ‘leap’ between the 20s and the 30s but a significant philosophical and political continuity. And finally, we demonstrate that, at least for Heidegger himself, both human ‘dressage’ and ‘racial selection’ should be constitutionally legalized in the new German reality; not as a consequence of ‘biological’ factors characteristic of modern science, but because it is ‘metaphysically necessary’ for Sorge or care of the Western being-in-the-world. The discovery of the link between racial selection and his masterpiece Being and Time is the most original element of this paper. We will focus on three crucial moments, not the only ones though, in Heidegger’s work from which we can understand the philosophical reasons why he would become one of the minds at the service of the Nazi regime.KEY WORDSHEIDEGGER, NAZISM, BEING AND TIME, RACIAL SELECTION

The Introduction includes an overview of the content of each of the following chapters. This chapter explores the context of war and modernity that provided a shared backdrop for Woolf and Heidegger. An explication of Woolf’s sustained engagement in the critique of the social order throughout her writings is included, and is compared with Heidegger’s largely apolitical approach to Being-in-the-world in his 1927 book, Being and Time. A review of potential philosophical influences upon Woolf’s writings is provided, as well as a survey of published literature that touches upon the connections between Woolf’s writings and Heidegger’s Being and Time.
