Heidegger's thinking. Remarks on the history of the reception of philosophy

El presente artículo parte de la afirmación de que la historia de la filosofía se ha objetualizado en escritos, obras y discursos, que constituyen la base de su recepción. Se indaga en segundo lugar si esta recepción permite captar lo más propio de lo que es la filosofía y no solamente la comprensión de la misma desde la perspectiva europea. Con base en este punto de partida se reflexiona en torno al carácter propio de la filosofía en Martin Heidegger, resaltando la influencia de ésta más allá de su recepción académico-institucional (caso de los Cuadernos negros, por ejemplo). Los puntos fundamentales que se enuncian al respecto son: a) no se puede decir que Heidegger tenga una filosofía, pues él mismo no admite etiqueta alguna, b) si la actividad filosófica se convierte en una profesión –se institucionaliza–, cuya técnica consiste en poner simplemente en relación la lectura de textos, se pierde allí lo que realmente debe acontecer: el pensar mismo, c) es por ello que con el pensar mismo no se trata de resultados alrededor del conocimiento, sino de caminos y encaminamientos (Be-Wegung), d) tal pensar no produce conceptos estables, sino términos que en el movimiento del pensar se transforman y conducen a neologismos, e) de esta manera el asunto del pensar es un Nicht-Sache o un Un-Sache, algo no señalable, f) en la pregunta por el sentido del ser se despliega el espacio y el tiempo en el que se puede encaminar el pensar. The present paper starts on the affirmation that the history of philosophy is been objectified in writings, works and speeches, which constitute the basis of its reception. The second point inquires if this reception allows us to grasp the most characteristic of what philosophy is, and no only the understanding of it from the European perspective. Based on this starting point we reflect around the character of philosophy in Martin Heidegger, highlighting its influence beyond academic-institutional reception (the case of the black notebooks, for example). The fundamental points that are enunciated in this matter are: a) it cannot be said that Heidegger has a philosophy, since he himself does not admit any label, b) if the philosophical activity becomes a profession -it is institutionalized-, whose technique consists of simply putting in relation the reading of texts, what really must happen is lost there: c) that is why thinking itself is not about results around knowledge, but about paths and routes (Be-Wegung), d) such thinking does not produce stable concepts, but words that in the movement of thinking are transformed and lead to neologisms, e) in this way the matter of thinking is a Nicht-Sache or an Un-Sache, something not to be pointed out, f) in the question of the sense of being unfolds the space and time in which thinking can be directed.The present paper starts on the affirmation that the history of philosophy is been objectified in writings, works and speeches, which constitute the basis of its reception.

Approaching Heidegger’s History of Being Through the Black Notebooks

This essay explores the importance of the Black Notebooks (GA 94-99) beyond their contribution to Heidegger’s political biography. While attention has up to now focused almost exclusively on other matters, the Black Notebooks offer new perspectives on Heidegger’s writings from the 1930s and 1940s, and beyond. The essay argues, that any reading of Heidegger’s later work that tries to ignore the question for the History of Being, as it moves from a consideration of the Meaning of Being to the History of Being, is doomed to misunderstand the whole of Heidegger’s thought. Therefore, if one wants to mobilize Heidegger’s thinking as a response to the great questions of our age, which this essay identifies as those of Global Warming, Globalisation, Nihilism and the Nightmare of the Manipulated Human Being, then one needs to force the question of history as the central problem underlying any future potentiality of Heidegger's philosophical impact

Smarrimenti. Heidegger e la fuga nell'erranza nei Quaderni neri

I primi Quaderni neri di Heidegger, da poco parzialmente disponibili anche in traduzione italiana, ci pongono di fronte a un tragico affresco dell’epoca a loro contemporanea (1931-1948). In questo saggio, Peter Trawny – curatore dell’edizione tedesca dei Quaderni – propone la riflessione sul nesso tra la produzione storica della verità e l’umano errare, insistendo sulla drammatizzazione della storia dell’Essere che si fa storia globale (motivo che attraversa i Quaderni). Il cuore di tenebra della «libertà anarchica» che Trawny attribuisce al pensiero heideggeriano è forse lo scoglio più aspro da superare per accostarsi a questi importanti documenti

Antisemitismo e historia: en torno a la función del “judaísmo mundial” en la Historia del ser de Heidegger

Desde su publicación a principios de 2014 los Cuadernos negros de Martin Heidegger incitaron a un debate tanto en la academia como en la esfera intelectual pública. Supuestamente estos cuadernos ponen en evidencia cómo Heidegger comulgaba con el antisemitismo y el nacionalsocialismo. A partir del análisis elaborado por David Nirenberg en su libro Antijudaísmo: la tradición occidental, se discute si el referente del antijudaísmo representa un fenómeno real o si el antijudaísmo es una visión del mundo en donde el significado de “los judíos” representa una función en la autocomprensión de aquellos que hablan de “judío” o “ser judío”, sin que este significado posea un referente real. Aquello que aquí se denomina ‘referencia real o fáctica’ representa un problema constante para la filosofía. Si ésta tuviera siempre que remitirse a algo real, sería entonces una ciencia particular como la biología. El “objeto” de la filosofía parece ser, no obstante, un problema filosófico. Por ello, en este caso se trata llanamente de la cuestión de si el discurso filosófico de Heidegger en los Cuadernos negros se corresponde o no con algo del mundo. Se trata, en pocas palabras, de definir el tipo de antisemitismo que se expresa en los Cuadernos negros
