On Human Temporality
Eldred offers a remedy to the consequences of ancient Greek misconceptions of time that are also entrenched in today’s mathematized physics. Here time is spatialized as the one-dimensionally linear ‘arrow of time’ for the sake of predicting and controlling movement. But such spatialized time distorts the phenomenon of time itself. An alternative, hermeneutic-phenomenological path begins with a pre-spatial concept of time that is genuinely three-d…
Movement and Time in the Cyberworld
The cyberworld fast rolling in and impacting every aspect of human living on the globe today presents an enormous challenge to humankind. It is taken up by the media following current events through to all kinds of natural- and social-scientific discourses. Digitized technoscience develops at a breakneck pace in all areas accompanied by sociological analysis. What is missing is a philosophical response genuinely posing the basic ontological quest…
Social Ontology of Whoness
How are core social phenomena to be understood as modes of being? This book offers an alternative approach to social ontology. Recent interest in social ontology on the part of mainstream philosophy and the social sciences presupposes from the outset that the human being can be cast as a conscious subject whose intentionality can be collective. By contrast, the present study insistently poses the crucial question of who the human being is and how…

Are We Enslaved by Technology? [Opinion]
Social Ontology
Technology, Technique, Interplay
Heidegger's reading of the essence of Technik is beset with a fatal ambiguity between technology and technique, which can be traced back further to an ambiguity lodged in the heart of Aristotle's metaphysical concept of power. This unresolved ambiguity, in turn, is intimately related to the historical cover-up of the twofold in the manifold of being between whatness (quiddity) and whoness (quissity). This cover-up is exposed using the example of …

Social Ontology
Freedom, value, power, justice, government, legitimacy are major themes of the present inquiry. It explores the ontological structure of human beings associating with one another, the basic phenomenon of society. We human beings strive to become who we are in an ongoing power interplay with each other. Thinkers called as witnesses include Plato, Aristotle, Anaximander, Protagoras, Hobbes, Locke, Adam Smith, Hegel, Marx, Schopenhauer, Heidegger, S…

Critique of cynical reason
A reply to Gleicher
Cynicism
Times are hard, but modern. Italian saying And indeed one no longer saw anyone standing behind everything. Everything turned continually about itself. Interests changed hourly. There were no more goals... The leaders lost their heads. They were drained to the dregs and calcified... Everyone in the land began to notice that things didn't work anymore... One path left open was to postpone the collapse... Franz Jung, Die Eroberung der Maschinen, 192…
