This
is a site of independent philosophical thinking, free from institutional
strictures.
It is also Heidegger
territory — but not Heidegger for the sake of Heidegger.
His thinking is
here the gateway to a critical engagement with the entire Western tradition
of thinking: Plato & Aristotle, Descartes & Leibniz, Hegel &
Marx, among others.
The focus is not
on an exposition of Heidegger, but on taking his hermeneutic phenomenology
further into areas of phenomena he never engaged with.
Not the quiet front
of the scholarship, but the jagged, cutting, bleeding, leading
edge of thinking itself.
Doing hermeneutic phenomenology
means learning to see in an age in which positivist and empiricist ways of thinking apparently
reign supreme.
Resuscitating the ontological difference
demands deconstructing mainstream philosophy in its complicity with modern science. |
Issues
include:
The dogma of interior subjective
consciousness vis-à-vis an external objective world
The absolute will
to power over all kinds of movement
Alternative ontologies of
movement to that of efficient causality
The mutual estimation
among whos in power interplays
The ontology of social and political power
One-dimensional time
vs. three-dimensional, existential time
The algorithmization of the
world and our entanglement in the cyberworld
The metaphysical fixation
on whatness to the neglect of whoness
The fateful interweaving of the
technological set-up with the relentless valorization of thingified value beneath the gainful
game
Radical consequences of thinking
through the temporal meaning of being itself: temporalogy |
