Notes on Philosophical Dialectic, Part 2

Greg Johnson

Martin Heidegger

2,441 words

Part 2 of 2

3. The Hermeneutic Circle in Heidegger’s Being and Time

Heidegger’s purpose in Being and Time[1] is to explore the question of the sense (Sinn) of Being (Sein). By “Being” Heidegger means the meaningful presence of beings to a knower. By the “sense of Being,” Heidegger refers to the meaningful presence of meaning itself. Read more …

Un preludio a Ser y Tiempo
¿Qué es la metafísica?

Greg Johnson

Rembrandt. Filósofo Leyendo. 1631

3,690 words

English original here

La mejor forma de entender lo que es la metafísica, es entender lo que no es La metafísica no es una disciplina especializada; no es una indagación teórica o práctica que trata sobre un bloque específico de actos, o intenta cambiar el mundo en una forma específica. Cada tipo de hecho y cada tipo de actividad tiene una disciplina correlacionada a ella. No importa qué tipo de hechos nombres, no importa que tan triviales, hay chances de que alguien haya escrito una disertación doctoral sobre ello – o habrá de hacer una algún día. Read more …

Un Preludio a Ser y Tiempo
¿Qué es la Fenomenología?

Greg Johnson

3,181 words

English original here

Edmund Husserl, 1859–1938

Nota del autor:

Hace mucho, mucho tiempo, cuando aún estaba cursando, tuve la tonta idea de enseñar Heidegger en clases de educación adulta. En realidad me fue bastante bien. Generalmente preparaba un resumen bastante detallado, lo seguía una página, y luego empezaba a hablar por fuera de él. Esta es la transcripción de un alumno sobre mi exposición sobre Ser y Tiempo. Read more …

A Prelude to Being & Time
What is Metaphysics?

Greg Johnson

3,589 words

Rembrandt, Philosopher Reading, 1631

Spanish translation here

The best way of understanding what metaphysics is, is to understand what it is not. Metaphysics is not a specialized discipline; it is not a theoretical or practical inquiry that deals with a specific set of facts, or tries to change the world in a specific way. Every kind of fact and every kind of activity has some specialized discipline correlated to it. No matter what kind of facts you name, no matter how trivial, chances are that someone has written a doctoral dissertation on it — or will write one someday.

A Prelude to Being & Time
What is Phenomenology?

Greg Johnson

2,992 words

Spanish translation here

Edmund Husserl, 1859–1938

Author’s Note:

Long, long ago, when I was still in graduate school, I had the daft idea of teaching Heidegger in an adult education class. It actually went quite well. I would usually prepare a detailed outline, follow it for a page, then start speaking extemporaneously. This is a student transcript of my background lecture on Being and Time. It has been only lightly edited. I added a citation and eliminated a few repetitions. If a tape comes to light, I will put it online. Read more …

Heidegger’s Question Beyond Being

Greg Johnson

6,362 words

Author’s Note:

The following text was written 21 years ago when I was in graduate school. I think it is a useful synthesis of the material available at the time, but I make no claims to originality. I tried to remove the kind of preciousness and pedantry that one finds in graduate student papers, but given the subject matter, what remains is necessarily somewhat densely written.

Everybody knows that Martin Heidegger was deeply interested in “Being,” indeed obsessed with it. Read more …
