Heidegger is now widely recognized as one of the most influential and controversial philosophers of the twentieth century, yet much of his later philosophy remains shrouded in confusion and controversy. Restoring Heidegger's understanding of metaphysics as 'ontotheology' to its rightful place at the center of his later thought, this book demonstrates the depth and significance of his controversial critique of technology, his appalling misadventure with Nazism, his prescient critique of the university, and his important philosophical suggestions for the future of higher education. It will be required reading for those seeking to understand the relationship between Heidegger's philosophy and National Socialism, as well as the continuing relevance of his work.

Heidegger on Ontotheology: Technology and the Politics of Education

A wide range of critical theorists is used in the study of international politics, and until now there has been no text that gives concise and accessible introductions to these figures. Critical Theorists and International Relations provides a wide-ranging introduction to thirty-two important theorists whose work has been influential in thinking about global politics. Each chapter is written by an expert with a detailed knowledge of the theorist concerned, representing a range of approaches under the rubric 'critical', including Marxism and post-Marxism, the Frankfurt School, hermeneutics, phenomenology, postcolonialism, feminism, queer theory, poststructuralism, pragmatism, scientific realism, deconstruction and psychoanalysis. Key features of each chapter include: a clear and concise biography of the relevant thinker an introduction to their key writings and ideas a summary of the ways in which these ideas have influenced and are being used in international relations scholarship a list of suggestions for further reading. Written in engaging and accessible prose, Critical Theorists and International Relations is a unique and invaluable resource for undergraduates, postgraduates and scholars of international relations.

Critical Theorists and International Relations

In the literature of International Relations the notion of coexistence is not understood as a question for world politics, despite the frequent irruption of issues of coexistence that constantly preoccupy international praxis. Rather, in theoretic terms coexistence is considered self-evidently as the composition of units, identified with co-presence in some spatial sense. This is evident, not from the explicit theorisation of coexistence as such, but from the ontological commitments of the discipline. The enquiry points toward the ontological centrality of the modern subject, whose key attributes are reason, self-mastery and control over others and itself, and which determines coexistence through 'a logic of composition.' The logic of composition reduces the multifarious relations of self and other to mere co-presence of already constituted subjects, that is, it occludes the constitutive role of the other in coexistence and for the 'subject' itself. Illustrating the interplay of subjectivity, composition and heteronomy in Thomas Hobbes's Leviathan and the work of David Campbell, the thesis turns to the phenomenology of Martin Heidegger in order to gain access to the heteronomy of entities. In his account of Being-in-the-world, it is argued, can be found an 'optics of coexistence' which enables a factically adequate understanding of coexistence. Such an optics reveals the self, not as autonomous and masterful, but as other-determined in its everydayness, and as uniquely appropriating this heteronomy in its process of becoming-proper. Existential heteronomy 'unworks modern subjectivity'. In this way, it forms the basis for the self's ethical comportment, a self which is an opening to otherness, and enables the articulation of a 'politics of non-self-sufficiency,' as a point of departure away from the subjective politics of self-sufficiency. Moreover, the diclosure of heteronomy disturbs the determination of coexistence as composition and points to community constitution through critique. Through what is called 'critical mimesis' community comes into being through the deconstructive retrieve of past possibilities inherited from past generations in process which is inclusive and critical. This is an account of communal constitution which is productive also in an era of global transformations, concerned with the destabilising effects of'globalisation.'.

HEIDEGGER AND NATIONAL SOCIALISM Introduction It is unfortunate but in retrospect undeniable that Heidegger's brief but very public tenure as the first Nazi Rector of Freiburg University in 1933–1934 helped cast an early sheen of intellectual legitimacy over the brutal regime that, less than a decade later, earned everlasting historical infamy for Auschwitz and the other horrors of the Shoah. The question for many of us, then, is this: How do we come to terms with the fact that the man who was probably the greatest philosopher of the twentieth century threw the considerable weight of his thought behind what was certainly its most execrable political movement? This profoundly troubling juxtaposition has haunted intellectuals for seventy years, generating a secondary literature of singular immensity. Although the debates carried on in this literature are multifaceted and complex, an historical examination of this “Heidegger controversy” shows that it has long had the character of a trial, both before it actually became one and after Heidegger himself was no longer alive to stand trial. An “accuse or excuse” dichotomy still structures the field of competing interpretations, obliging scholars to take sides, as though with either the prosecution or the defense. Unfortunately, this adversarial logic increasingly dominates the public sphere in the West, its common spectacle of talking heads talking past one another working to obscure the fact that in complex matters the truth is usually located between the opposing extremes, and so is unfit for the polemical purposes of demagogues on either side.

The Later Heidegger and Contemporary Theology of God

Wer sich in Sein und Zeit vertieft und Zeuge ist der eigentümlichen Aushöhlungen und Verlegungen, denen die alltäglichen Begriffe in diesem Werke ausgesetzt sind, wird sich die Frage stellen, welcher Status Heideggers Aussagen zukomme. Diese Aussagen haben die Form einer Proposition, aber von Anfang an ist deutlich erkennbar, daß es nicht die Sache der Heideggerschen Philosophie ist, Sachverhalte zu beschreiben. Eine ausführliche Antwort auf die fundamental-methodische Frage nach dem Status von Heideggers Aussagen gibt es in Sein und Zeit nicht. Aber Heidegger gibt in Sein und Zeit einen Hinweis auf die Art und Weise seines philosophischen Vorgehens, wenn er alle zentralen Begriffe als forma/­ anzeigend bezeichnet. Was dies besagt, wird in Sein und Zeit nicht systematisch untersucht, aber diese Untersuchung liegt in einigen früheren, zum Teil erst neulich veröffentlichten Arbeiten vor. Es ist unsere Absicht, den Status der Formalanzeige anhand dieser Arbeiten zu erläutern; damit wird einerseits Licht auf den Bau und die Bewegung des Denkens Heideggers in der Zeit der Marburger Vorlesungen geworfen, andererseits wird deutlich werden, worin Heideggers radikale Transformation der Hermeneutik besteht. In Sein und Zeit tritt in der Erörterung der Formalanzeige vor allem der Aspekt einer Verlegung der Grammatik hervor, dergestalt, daß die Aussage­ form, die ihren Zuschnitt aus der theoretischen Beschreibung des Vorhandenen in seiner Vorhandenheit erhält, derart ausgehöhlt wird, daß sie die Seinsweise des Daseins bezeichnen kann. In der Logikvorlesung aus den Jahren 192526 heißt es in aller Schärfe:
