what does everyone think about how Heidegger’s meaning of phenomenology affects his account of language in ‘Being and time’ it’s a very complicated subject which i don’t fully understand but i realise that his views on phenomenology greatly affected his interpretations and what he asserted on language in being and time. what does everyone think/ know on this topic, or does anyone know of any useful references?
An excellent place to start in considering Heidegger’s relationship to phenomenology is Simon Critchley’s, ‘Renewing phenomenology (Heidegger for beginners)’ in ‘Genos’ 4 (2000), 99-114.
You could also look at Robert J. Dostal, ‘Time and phenomenology in Husserl and Heidegger’ in ‘The Cambridge Companion to Heidegger’.
But make sure first that you have done the groundwork have have a strong idea of Heidegger’s project in ‘Being and Time’ before throwing yourself into Husserl as well.
i like what me! said (which sounds strangely narcissistic, but neverthess), but i’ll add a little more.
Heidegger emphasizes the inseparability of Dasein from the world, objects ready-at-hand, and present-to-hand through his language. one way of doing this is by inserting these strange hyphens (is that even the right word…yes i think so. what i mean is THIS symbol: - ).
For example: Dasein is Being-in-the-world.
It is my understanding that we, as those beings for whom or being is an issue, can imagine ourselves separate from the world and talk about ourselves as being separate from the world, but we are never separate from the world. Dasein is worldly durch und durch. Yet, at the same time, we are not equivalent to the world or any such thought. And yet, there is not outside.
i think this is great stuff.
