The enigma that remains the lot of thinking
摘要
In Heidegger and the Contradiction of Being: An Analytic Interpretation of the Late Heidegger, Filippo Casati seeks to establish that Heidegger encounters a number of paradoxes in the course of his inquiry into being; and that, in later work, he embraces dialetheism, the view that there are true contradictions, as the solution. I focus on what I call the paradox of being. It is a matter of scholarly dispute whether Heidegger encounters this paradox, let alone offers dialetheism as a solution. I help to make the case for the presence of the paradox in Heidegger’s works. But I suggest that Heidegger seeks to develop an alternative solution, one which calls for a non-propositional form of thinking and a kind of truth more fundamental than that which attaches to propositions.
