In his new book, Gordon Globus brings together two seemingly irreconcilable discourses: an application of quantum field theory to brain functioning with the philosophies of Heidegger and Derrida. In other words, he tries to reconcile a powerful tradition within continental philosophy with the quantum revolution in science, and applies the outcome to crucial issues in philosophy, brain science, ...

The aim of my paper is to present the forgotten suggestion made by Heidegger which can be found in his Grundbegriffe der aristotelischen Philosophie. Heidegger interprets the Aristotle’s definition of a man as zoon logon echon: it is no longer the traditional understanding of a rational animal, but rather being-here-in the world for which an involvement in conversation and discursivity, i.e. lo...

It seems that complaints about Heidegger’s style of writing are common fare in secondary literature and the classroom. This paper argues that both Heidegger’s obtuseness and obscurantism work as methodological devices for effectively communicating and demonstrating his thought. By obfuscating, he forces breakdowns, which pulls the reader out of her ready-to-hand mode of reading/revealing, which...

Joseph Rouse Wesleyan University Heidegger’s reputation in the Anglophone philosophical world suggests that he was unsympathetic to the natural sciences, and generally unconcerned with the philosophy of science. Even among those who know his work, philosophy of science is not usually considered central to Heidegger, nor is he seen as a significant contributor to philosophy of science. This diss...

Both claim that this dispute arises from a failure to take seriously our everyday experience of things in the world. I argue that it is useful to note the similarity between Fine and Heidegger for two distinct reasons: 1) their view...

Affinities have been noted between radical behaviorism and phenomenology, hermeneutics, and poststructuralism, but this paper claims the most promising one has been neglected. Skinner’s behaviorism is best seen as elucidating that time-sense characteristic of ordinary, habitual life which Heidegger calls a “temporalizing of everydayness.” We usually live ‘from moment to moment’ as if we were ju...

The physicist Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker recounted a walk in the Black Forest with Martin Heidegger. The pair came to a halt on a thick patch of damp moss. Weizsäcker pointed out that the path had come to an end. The philosopher looked at him “craftily” and explained: “It is a holzweg, it leads to the sources [er führt zu den Quellen]. Of course I didn’t put that in the book.”1 Heidegger cou...
