• 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…

• End of Philosophy (das Ende der Philosophie)

• 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…

• 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"…

• 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…

• 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…
