Chapter 3. Being as Appearing
Division III of Heidegger's Being and Time
Leading philosophers and scholars speculate on what Heidegger's unfinished masterpiece might have said, why Heidegger didn't publish it, and what being actually means. Heidegger's Being and Time is one of the most influential and important books in the history of philosophy, but it was left unfinished. The parts we have of it, Divisions I and II of Part One, were meant to be merely preparatory for the unwritten Division III, which was to have for…
In search of authenticity
Martin Heidegger's conception of authentic resoluteness gives us a picture of life as an unfolding story aimed at a fulfillment of a specific sort. Such resoluteness provides a focus and continuity to a life that can help an individual find meaning and order during times of personal difficulties. This phenomenology of an attempt to live an authentic life gives an image of how such a personal quest might be worked out. In this article, I talk abou…
Medicalized Psychiatry and the Talking Cure
Positive Psychology and Philosophy of Social Science
Many of the shortcomings of `positive psychology' seem to stem from its unreflectively perpetuating key assumptions of the very mainstream social science it censures for being too `negative.' Philosophical hermeneutics and related social theory perspectives allow us to identify and critically examine such assumptions, including a one-sided individualism and narrow instrumentalism. Hermeneutics allows us to make sense of the `disguised ideology' t…
Authenticity
This article discusses the ordinary, the existentialist, and the virtue-ethics senses of the word 'authenticity'. The term 'authentic' in ordinary usage suggests the idea of being 'original' or 'faithful to an original', and its application implies being true to what someone (or something) truly is. It is important to see, however, that the philosopher who put this technical term on the map in existentialism, Martin Heidegger, used the word to re…
On Being Authentic
'To thine own self be true.' From Polonius's words in Hamlet right up to Oprah, we are constantly urged to look within. Why is being authentic the ultimate aim in life for so many people, and why does it mean looking inside rather than out? Is it about finding the 'real' me, or something greater than me, even God? And should we welcome what we find?Thought-provoking and with an astonishing range of references, On Being Authentic is a gripping jou…
Narrative Explanation in Psychotherapy
This article examines the field of psychotherapy as an interesting and illustrative example of human science inquiry. Three approaches to understanding human intentionality and action that have appeared in theories of psychotherapy over the years are distinguished. Naturalist approaches assume explanation involves describing underlying causes operating beneath the surface phenomena of thought and action. In recent years, difficulties this view en…
The Cambridge Companion to Heidegger
Heidegger's Crisis
The Cambridge Companion to Heidegger
Philosophy after Wittgenstein and Heidegger
Richard Rorty began a series of lectures in the early seventies by saying, Just as no one in the nineteenth century could go on doing philosophy without coming to terms with Kant, so no one in our century can go on doing philosophy without coming to terms with Wittgenstein and Heidegger. Though not everyone would agree with this judgment, it does pose an interesting question about what it is we are supposed to come to terms with in the writings o…
Philosophy in Germany
On Saving Heidegger from Rorty
No one has contributed more to making Heidegger's name respectable in the Anglo-American world in recent years than Richard Rorty. His sympathetic reading of Heidegger in his 1974 essay, Overcoming the Tradition: Heidegger and Dewey,' broke down barriers to accepting Heidegger as having something comprehensible and important to say to us. And, by placing Heidegger at the center of the argument of Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature, he shattered …
