• Aletheia / Unverborgenheit

  The Greek ἀ-λήθεια (un-concealment), translated by Heidegger hartnäckig (stubbornly) as Unverborgenheit — not for etymology's sake but für die Sache, der bedacht werden muß. Heidegger's most concentrated late treatment of Aletheia is in "D…

• Ambiguity and the Absolute Frank Chouraqui, 2014

  Author(s): Frank Chouraqui Year: 2014 (Fordham University Press, Perspectives in Continental Philosophy series; ISBN 978-0-8232-5411-8; John D. Caputo, series editor) Type: Book (monograph)

• Augenblick

  The temporal-existential locus in which past and future converge in decision. Etymologically "blink-of-the-eye," the Augenblick is the moment of seeing-and-deciding — not a temporal point on a timeline but the Zeitlichkeit des Selbsthandel…

• Auseinandersetzung

  Heidegger's technical name for the proper mode of relation to a thinker. Distinct from interpretation, criticism, and refutation, Auseinandersetzung is "die höchste und einzige Weise der wahren Schätzung eines Denkers" — the highest and on…

• Being In and Toward the World (être au monde)

  Merleau-Ponty's signature formulation of the human being's relation to world — the être au monde of Phenomenology of Perception, translated by Donald Landes as "being in and toward the world" to capture the directional-inhabiting complexit…

• Beständigung des Werdens in die Anwesenheit

  Heidegger's climactic thesis on the essence of will to power: it is the Beständigung des Werdens in die Anwesenheit — the making-stand-fast of becoming into abiding presence. The phrase appears at the close of Der Wille zur Macht als Erken…

• Circulus Vitiosus Deus: Merleau-Ponty's Ontology of Ontology Frank Chouraqui, 2016

  Author(s): Frank Chouraqui (Leiden University) Year: 2016 Type: Journal article (Studia Phaenomenologica XVI, pp. 469–487)

• Das Ende der Philosophie und die Aufgabe des Denkens (1964) Martin Heidegger, 1964

  Author(s): Martin Heidegger Year: 1964 (this version: GA 14, 2007 — Klostermann edition with Heidegger's marginalia from his Handexemplar) Type: essay (originally Heidegger's contribution to the UNESCO Paris colloquium "Kierkegaard vivant,…

• End of Philosophy (das Ende der Philosophie)

  Heidegger's late thesis: philosophy as metaphysics — from Plato through Hegel-Husserl-Nietzsche-Marx — has ended in the present age. The end is Vollendung, not cessation: a Versammlung in die äußerste Möglichkeit (gathering into outermost…

• Ereignis (Heidegger's advent of Being)

  Heidegger's late term — typically rendered "advent of Being" or "appropriating event" — for the non-causal event by which Being gives itself, ereignet sich, in a "vertical" history that does not unfold along the horizontal axis of cause an…

• Erregender Zwiespalt zwischen Wahrheit und Kunst

  The "agitating discord" between art and truth at the heart of Nietzsche's late metaphysics. Nietzsche himself names it in 1888: "Über das Verhältnis der Kunst zur Wahrheit bin ich am frühesten ernst geworden: und noch jetzt stehe ich mit e…

• Eternal Recurrence

  Nietzsche's thought that the same events will repeat, identically, an infinite number of times — first introduced in The Gay Science §341 (the "greatest weight") and developed through Thus Spoke Zarathustra, the notebooks, and Ecce Homo. N…

• Fold (Pli)

  Merleau-Ponty's figure for the ontological structure by which the multiple comes from the one without external cutting — the continuum of form and content that dissolves the dualism/monism dilemma. V&I Ch. 4 Section "Folds" (pp. ~139–141)…

• Großer Stil

  Nietzsche's name, in his late writings, for the highest mode of artistic creation: not classicism, not romanticism, but mastery over a chaos that is one's own. Heidegger reads großer Stil in Nietzsche I I.14-15 as the form-giving counter-s…

• Heidegger as Silenced Interlocutor

  The philological-corrective thesis that MP's reading of Heidegger was archivally thin — and that the dominant "Heideggerian turn" reading of late MP projects backwards from late stylistic resonances onto a philosophical genesis that came f…

• How does MP's seinsgeschichte tension with Heidegger bear on the 1959→1961 reversal?

  The two are the same problem seen from opposite sides. In 1959 Merleau-Ponty anchors ontology in the "thick, opaque present" and refuses the Hegel/Marx/Nietzsche detour; by 1960–61 he gives a whole course on exactly that detour. The revers…

• Husserl at the Limits of Phenomenology Maurice Merleau-Ponty (ed. Leonard Lawlor with Bettina Bergo), 2002

• Inconscient primordial (Inconscient d'ek-stase)

  The late MP's term for a carnal unconscious that replaces — not supplements — consciousness as the operator of the être à la chose par l'intermédiaire du corps. Saint Aubert's reading (E&C II Ch VI) argues that the Notes sur le corps (1956…

• Intra-Ontology (Indirect Ontology)

  Merleau-Ponty's method-concept for an ontology that does not stand outside Being to describe it but operates within it — "Being in the beings." MP's formulation from the February 1959 V&I working note: "One cannot make a direct ontology. M…

• Is Cybernetics the Same Philosophical Enemy for Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty?

  Short answer. Both clauses of the question are partly true, but the or is too strong. Cybernetics (in Heidegger 1964) and pensée opératoire (in Merleau-Ponty 1960–61) target the same structural phenomenon — the reduction of beings to manip…

• Kybernetik as Grundwissenschaft

  Heidegger's 1964 thesis: Cybernetics is the new Grundwissenschaft (fundamental science) that determines and steers the dispersed sciences in the completed-philosophy age. Locus classicus: "Das Ende der Philosophie und die Aufgabe des Denke…

• Leitfrage and Grundfrage

  Heidegger's architectonic distinction between two questions of philosophy. The Leitfrage (guiding question) is "Was ist das Seiende?" — "What is the being?" — i.e., what makes a being a being? This question, given its decisive form by Aris…

• Lethe / Verbergung

  Heidegger's late name for the Sich-verbergen (self-concealing), Verborgenheit, that belongs to ἀ-λήθεια als das Herz — as the heart, not as a mere addition or like shadow to light. Locus classicus: "Das Ende der Philosophie und die Aufgabe…

• Letting-Be (laisser-être)

  Merleau-Ponty's name for the comportment that "lets the perceived world be rather than posits it" (VI 138/102) — the structural form of voyance applied to the philosophical object, and the "primordial unconsciousness" that is "the initial…

• Lichtung

  Heidegger's late name for the Offenheit (openness) — the free open — that grants any Scheinen (showing), any Zeigen (appearing), and any An- und Abwesendes (presencing or absence). Locus classicus: "Das Ende der Philosophie und die Aufgabe…

• Machenschaft

  Heidegger's name for the mode of Being in the completed epoch of metaphysics — the form Seiendheit (beingness) takes when the Vollendung has installed Seinsverlassenheit (abandonment by Being) as the prevailing condition. Machenschaft is n…

• Martin Heidegger

  German philosopher (1889-1976). In Merleau-Ponty's Course Notes, Heidegger receives "the most rigorous, detailed, and explicit engagement" found anywhere in Merleau-Ponty's oeuvre (Course 1, Part II.B). Merleau-Ponty traces the passage fro…

  Author(s): Rajiv Kaushik Year: 2019 Type: book (SUNY Press, Contemporary Continental Philosophy)

• Metaphysische Grundstellung

  Heidegger's name for the structural form a metaphysical position takes within the Leitfrage-history. A Grundstellung is not a "viewpoint" or "doctrine" but the four-fold articulation by which a thinker takes a Stand (stance) within the una…

• Ontological Difference

  The distinction between Being (Sein, être) and beings (Seiende, étant), originating in Heidegger's philosophy and critically reworked by Merleau-Ponty. Being is not a supreme entity but "that which is not nothing" — the es gibt ("there is"…

• Phenomenology of Perception Maurice Merleau-Ponty, 1945

• Schematisieren eines Chaos

  Nietzsche's account of knowledge, as read by Heidegger in Der Wille zur Macht als Erkenntnis (1939, heidegger-1961-nietzsche-i Part III): knowing is the schematizing of a chaos according to practical need. Knowledge is not correspondence t…

• Seinsgeschichte

  Heidegger's concept of the "history of Being" — not a chronicle of philosophical doctrines but the successive ways in which Being itself "sends" (schickt) itself, concealing itself in the very act of disclosure. As read by Merleau-Ponty, t…

• Task of Thinking (Aufgabe des Denkens)

  Heidegger's late name for post-philosophical thinking — a thinking that is neither metaphysics nor science, preparatory not founding (vorbereitend nicht stiftend), abseits ohne Effekt (apart, without effect), gleichwohl von eigener Notwend…

  Author(s): Mauro Carbone Year: 2004 Type: book (commentary; collection of reworked essays)

• The Unthought

  Merleau-Ponty's meta-principle for reading the philosophical tradition, taken over from Heidegger's Der Satz vom Grund and applied in "The Philosopher and His Shadow" (1959). The "unthought-of element" (das Ungedachte) in a work is not wha…

• Umdrehung des Platonismus

  Nietzsche's self-described project, recorded already in 1870/71: "Meine Philosophie umgedrehter Platonismus: je weiter ab vom wahrhaft Seienden, um so reiner schöner besser ist es. Das Leben im Schein als Ziel" (IX, 190). Heidegger reads t…

• Vollendung der Metaphysik

  Heidegger's name for what Nietzsche's thought is: not the overcoming of Western metaphysics but its completion. Vollendung is the most load-bearing thesis of the Nietzsche I lectures (1936-1939) and the operative frame for Heidegger's read…

• Wahrheit als Gerechtigkeit

  Nietzsche's most extreme determination of truth, in his late notebooks: truth as Gerechtigkeit — justice as the fitting bestowal of constancy by the will to power. Heidegger reads this in Nietzsche I Part III as "der äußerste Wandel der me…

• Will to Power

  Nietzsche's name for the essential character of reality: "the world is will to power, and that alone" (BGE 36). In Nietzsche's texts it names at once a psychological principle (drives seeking their discharge), a biological principle (life…
