| Long abstract | Of the many unresolved debates surrounding the work of Martin Heidegger, one often returns to an elemental question: is Heideggerian phenomenology ultimately a question of hermeneutics and interpretation, or is it ultimately a question of immanence and truth? Is Dasein forever questing after a Being that withdraws, or does it somehow achieve a primordial communion with the truth of Being? Hermeneutics has been a dominant methodology for the tradition of theory and critique dating to the 1960s. Hence it is not surprising that Heidegger, who was being rediscovered and rethought during that pe-riod, would often be framed in terms of hermeneutics. To be sure, the critical tradition handed down from poststructuralism leaves little room for modes of im-manence and immediacy, modes that were marginal-ized as essentialist or otherwise unpleasant (often for good reason). Thus it would be easy to assimilate a figure like Heidegger, with his complicated withdraw-ings of Being, into the tradition of hermeneutics. For where else would he fit? And one will admit that Heidegger is typically categorized within this tradi-tion. But is it not also possible to show that Heidegger is a philosopher of immanence? That he speaks as much to illumination as to withdrawal? That he speak as much to the intuitive and proximate as to the de-tached and distanced? |
