By introducing the term “naturalistic hermeneutics”, even in the very title of his book, Chrysostomos Mantzavinos invites us to much discussion and controversy. In the theory of knowledge, as well as in scientific methodology, naturalism and hermeneutics are two philosophical “paradigms” which are meant to be incompatible for a number of reasons, historical but also systematic. Besides the fact that they belong to different, if not oppositional, philosophical traditions, naturalism and hermeneutics could hardly be considered to form a unique philosophical position, namely a “naturalistic hermeneutics”. Nevertheless, this is what Mantzavinos claims in his book.

Includes image: 'virgin mary with a book', 1932. Abstract During the first two decades of the 20th century, Greece’s philosophical scene was dominated by neokantianism. In the so called “Heidelberg group” of philosophers we come across a company of people educated in post-WW 1 Germany, close to some of the most influential philosophers of their time. Immersed in neokantianism, the triad Theodorakopoulos-Tsatsos-Kanellopoulos served the spirit of this philosophical school not just within the university classroom, but also for a much wider public. Within this dominant framework, what was the role and significance of other philosophical trends, such as phenomenology, in the genesis of contemporary Greek philosophy? The main working hypothesis of our research is that the phenomenological movement in Greece was caught since its beginning in the tension between two dominant philosophical currents, neokantianism and existentialism. A more serious effort to cope with phenomenologica...

In our paper we treat the Arendtian genealogy of Europe against its Heideggerian backdrop and also with regard to several key phenomenological commentaries, especially these of Reiner Schurmann, Jacques Taminiaux and Eliane Escoubas. Arendt often plays Greek against Roman politics insisting that the political is founded upon a unique type of experience, which is not that of truth, but of freedom perceived not as a means for political ends, but as being intrinsically political, which is for her a unique Roman achievement. What would such a discourse on Europe’s founding narratives, which are no doubt not only Greek and Roman, but also Christian and Enlightenment-based, have to contribute to the on-going European crisis? The phenomenological discourse on the origins of Europe shouldn’t be perceived as the reductive endeavor to identify a unique, unchanged, and ultimately exclusive principle determining the common European identity in terms of identity and difference or authenticity an...

In my paper, I will approach virtual places neither in terms of non-places or atopias, nor in terms of utopias, but in terms of heterotopias. In order to do so I will deal with some major phenomenological commentaries of place in Heidegger before focusing on a series of placial or place-related topics in his 1936–1938 Contributions to Philosophy (From Enowing). In light of the Contributions I will first thematize virtual places indirectly by opening up the triad of calculation/digits, representation/screens, and communication/information bits. Then, I will attempt to relate the treatment of Contributions to a second triad of topics which are directly placial: worldliness and involvement, situatedness and affective attunement, familiarity and homelessness. I will conclude by insisting on the unique heterotopic dwelling that digital places as places of alterity offer us beyond the all too easy topos-atopia and topos-utopia dilemmas.

Etude de la conception historique et pratique du kairos developpee par Heidegger dans ses cours de Freibourg et de Marbourg, a partir de son interpretation de la philosophie pratique d'Aristote. L'A. met en evidence le lien phenomenologique entre le kairos aristotelicien et le theme du christianisme primitif dans le traitement heideggerien de la temporalite.

RÉSUMÉ Notre article traite de l’interprétation heideggerienne du Surhomme ( Ubermensch ) chez Nietzsche en prenant en considération tout particulièrement sa désignation comme forme ( Gestalt ) dans les cours de 1939-1946 qui constituent, sous plusieurs aspects, la culmination du « différend » ( Auseinandersetzung ) avec lui. En effet, si anthropomorphie et subjectivité s'appartiennent mutuellement dans la métaphysique moderne, cette coappartenance trouve son achèvement chez le Surhomme. Elle indique par ailleurs la forclusion du sujet nietzschéen dans la logique de la négation, témoignage de la tentative heideggerienne pour « dialectiser » Nietzsche. C’est ainsi qu’une continuité s'établit entre sa position métaphysique et la dialectique hégélienne. Par ailleurs, nous nous efforçons de projeter cette interprétation réductrice sur la critique par Heidegger d’une des figures majeures du néohégélianisme au tournant du siècle, à savoir Oswald Spengler, telle qu’elle a lieu dans...

Etude de l'interpretation phenomenologique d'Aristote developpee par Heidegger dans ses cours semestriels de 1921/22, fondes sur l'analyse des concepts de phusis, arche et kinesis. S'interessant plus particulierement a la reception de la notion de mouvement dans l'elaboration heideggerienne d'une hermeneutique de la facticite, l'A. montre, en reference a P. Natrop, que le cours consacre aux «Interpretations phenomenologiques d'Aristote. Introduction a une recherche phenomenologique» participe a l'ontologisation de la phenomenologie de l'existence chez Heidegger a travers son interpretation de l'ontologie d'Aristote fondee sur les notions de logos et aletheia

L'A. entreprend la quete d'une nouvelle pensee fondatrice chez Heidegger dans les «Contributions a la philosophie». Examinant l'un des axes principaux de la pensee de l'Ereignis, a savoir une nouvelle mise en jeu de la fondation, l'A. monte que la question du fondement se pose precisement dans la reformulation de la question de l'etre et le depassement de son contexte existential. Examinant les themes de l'histoire, du Dasein, de la langue, de la verite et de l'abime comme lieux ou se deploie l'exploration du fond, l'A. etudie le parcours qui mene Heidegger a la pensee historiale de l'Ereignis percue comme projet de fondation du Dasein dans la verite de l'etre.

This paper focuses on Heidegger's 1937 lecture course on the Nietzschean doctrine of the Eternal Recurrence of the Same. Heidegger interprets the motive of recurrence in Nietzsche as the Moment (Augenblick) of the Eternal Recurrence. Through this key motive of the moment, we try then to examine the double function of the doctrine which, on the one hand, refers us back to some essential themes of the existential analytics, whereas, on the other hand, it paves the way for the new confrontation with metaphysics in the Beiträge zur Philosophie. We hold that the turning away from the existential conception of the moment toward its “aletheiological” understanding in terms of a “site of the Moment” (die Augenblicksstätte) takes place in the context of this very lecture course. This transition is even more critical as it constitutes the very heart of Heidegger's critique of subjectivity in the new perspective opened by the history of Being: Nietzsche's doctrine of time provides ...
