Opis

"Time and the Shared World "challenges the common view that Heidegger offers few resources for understanding humanity s social nature. The book demonstrates that Heidegger s reformulation of traditional notions of subjectivity has wide-ranging implications for understanding the nature of human relationships. Contrary to entrenched critiques, Irene McMullin shows that Heidegger s characterization of selfhood as fundamentally social presupposes the responsive acknowledgment of each person s particularity and otherness. In doing so, McMullin argues that Heidegger s work on the social nature of the self must be located within a philosophical continuum that builds on Kant and Husserl s work regarding the nature of the a priori and the fundamental structures of human temporality, while also pointing forward to developments of these themes to be found in Heidegger s later work and in such thinkers as Sartre and Levinas. By developing unrecognized resources in Heidegger s work, "Time and the Shared World" is able to provide a Heidegger-inspired account of respect and the intersubjective origins of normativity.
