Being and Contingency: Decrypting Heidegger's Terminology by Ricardo San?n-Restr

Description: Being and Contingency by Ricardo Sanín-Restrepo Using a hypothetical language game as a premise and working through the theory of decryption of power, the book decrypts the pillars of the philosophy of being, mainly Heidegger´s construction of the "ready to hand," proposing a novel theory of being as difference that is impregnated in politics. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Heidegger´s construction of Being is paramount in Western philosophy and arguably the most enduring effort to construct a presupposition free ontology. Nevertheless, using the theory of encryption of power, we can discover that the result of his effort is a sophisticated perpetuation of a kind of knowing and of doing that alienates the possibility of any kind of politics as a commonality of differences. This book connects the theory of encryption of power with an array of ground-breaking philosophical and scientific traditions of the last hundred years in order to perforate and depose Heidegger´s metaphysics, through his construction of the ready-to-hand. Through a hypothetical language game, based on Wittgenstein´s "language games" (The "X" game of language) this book decrypts Heidegger´s construction of Being while also decrypting and empowering the Wittgensteinian philosophy of language along with it.The idea of decryption demonstrates that, through particular forms of language use and philosophy, the world as we know it is encrypted; forms of resistance and life are covered over by a surface of control and determination that leads to economic and political forms like capitalism, fascism and liberalism. Decryption is a way of unconcealing what has been concealed. By staging this encounter, Sanin-Restrepo brings the insights of decolonial theory to bear on the main body of Western philosophy and directly on Heidegger himself. Author Biography Ricardo Sanín-Restrepo is visiting professor of legal and political philosophy at National Autonomous University of Mexico. He is the author of Decolonizing Democracy: Power in a Solid State (Rowman and Littlefield International 2016). Table of Contents IntroductionChapter 1. The X Game of LanguageChapter 2. Definition of The Ready to HandChapter 3. That Thing with the They and the Hinges of SignificationChapter 4. Naming and Difference. Multiple Worlds and the Power PlayChapter 5. Objects and Social Performances: Seeing as GatheringChapter 6. Resoluteness (Entschlossenheit), Discourse and DisclosednessConclusion Review If Heidegger helps us see beyond a portrait of pure transcendence--which Euromodern Man is all-too-commonly regarded as divinely embodying--then the hope is that Sanín-Restrepos text will help those thinking seriously about domination to decrypt the presumption of Calibans pure immanence. Long Description Heideggers construction of Being is paramount in Western philosophy and arguably the most enduring effort to construct a presupposition free ontology. Nevertheless, using the theory of encryption of power, we can discover that the result of his effort is a sophisticated perpetuation of a kind of knowing and of doing that alienates the possibility of any kind of politics as a commonality of differences. This book connects the theory of encryption of power with an array of ground-breaking philosophical and scientific traditions of the last hundred years in order to perforate and depose Heideggers metaphysics, through his construction of the ready-to-hand. Through a hypothetical language game, based on Wittgensteins "language games" (The "X" game of language) this book decrypts Heideggers construction of Being while also decrypting and empowering the Wittgensteinian philosophy of language along with it. The idea of decryption demonstrates that, through particular forms of language use and philosophy, the world as we know it is encrypted; forms of resistance and life are covered over by a surface of control and determination that leads to economic and political forms like capitalism, fascism and liberalism.
