One thing this book attempts to show is that Kant's antinomies open a way towards an overcoming of that nihilism that is a corollary of the understanding of reality that presides over our science and technology. But when Harries is speaking of the antinomy of Being he is not so much thinking of Kant, as of Heidegger. Not that Heidegger speaks of an antinomy of Being. But his thinking of Being leads him and will lead those who follow him on his path of thinking into this antinomy. At bottom, however, the author is neither concerned with Heidegger’s nor Kant’s thought. He shows that our thinking inevitably leads us into some version of this antinomy whenever it attempts to grasp reality in toto, without loss. All such attempts will fall short of their goal. And that they do so, Harries claims, is not something to be grudgingly accepted, but embraced as a necessary condition of living a meaningful life. That is why the antinomy of Being matters and should concern us all.

I AND THOU is one of the most important books of Western Theology. In it, Martin Buber, heavily influenced by the writings of Nietzsche, unites the proto-Existentialist currents of modern German thought with the Judeo-Christian tradition, powerfully updating faith for modern times. Since its first appearance in Germany in 1923, this slender volume has become one of the epoch-making works of our time.This work is the centerpiece of Buber's philosophy. It lays out a view of the world in which human beings can enter into relationships usung their innermost and whole beings to form true partnerships. This is the original English translation, and it was prepared in the author;'s presence.

Dialectic of Institution: Merleau-Pontys Overcoming of the Antinomy and Freedom and Necessity advances an original interpretation of Merleau-Pontys ontology of "la chair" ("the flesh), not merely as an effort to reconceive of being and truth beyond the modern dichotomy of subjective freedom and objective necessity, but also, and inseparably, as the articulation of an ethics of the flesh in the form of a general account of virtue. The fates of ethical meaning and scientific truth are, today, indissolubly bound up precisely by their separation, which renders them abstract. Insofar as the human significance of things and events is conceived of as purely subjective, no formulation of ethics can escape the charge of arbitrariness by appeal to some common evidentiary ground. Conversely, insofar as the truths of science and mathematics are conceived of as purely objective, it is as if they segregate off, from a world of opinion or appearances, their own proper world of facts to which human significance can only arbitrarily (i.e., unverifiably) be attributed. I argue, following Merleau-Ponty, that lived meanings and scientific truths are moments of a single, open dialectical movement of human existence, where each field of sense (e.g., emotion, music, painting, mathematics) becomes instituted (i.e., initially established, and continually sustained) by articulating a possible manner latent on the horizons of previously established fields in which living bodies can respond to, and question, other beings. In the first chapter, I undertake a genealogy, beginning with the thought of Descartes, of the three fundamental modern antinomies of mind-body, self-others, and freedom-necessity, before explicating Merleau-Pontys initial attempt to overcome them in PhP. Each antinomy comes to expression in an oscillation between the poles of objective thought (the modern identification of reality with truth, in the sense of what can be measured): epistemologically, intellectualism and empiricism; metaphysically, idealism and realism. Merleau-Ponty does not aim to refute these attitudes, but to show their incompleteness, the manner in which each takes the others explicit presupposition (i.e., respectively, absolute subjectivity and pure objects) as its own implicit foundation: a reciprocal figure-ground or founding-founded relation, which Merleau-Ponty describes by taking up the language of the Gestalt psychologists, and Husserls concept of "Fundierung" (foundation or founding). The dichotomies of objective thought are not errors, but highly formalized expressions of the Gestalt structure of the general movement of existencethe same structure articulated in behavior and perception. In place of the modern conceptions of freedom as absolutely unconditioned activity, and necessity as passive mechanism, he articulates free choice as an essentially conditioned response to the problems and the possibilities expressed by a given situation, and necessity as the value retroactively bestowed upon a situation by projects which take it up as their foundation.In the second chapter, I present my account of the new ontology Merleau-Ponty develops particularly from the IP lectures on to escape the language of consciousness and objects (which yet constrains his thought in PhP) by explaining the genesis of meaning and the individuation of living bodies and things as dimensions of a single movement of being. I take two lines of approach to this ontology: the first, exegetical; the second, phenomenological. First, exegetically, I articulate the passage of Merleau-Pontys thought by tracing his gradual transformation of the Husserlian concept of "Stiftung" (institution or instituting), from merely a tool for analyzing the acquisition and reactivation of habitualities of conscious life, to, in Merleau-Pontys later works, an articulation of the ontological functioning of beings whereby they become co-individuated in what is, simultaneously, the primordial birth of sense. In other words, Merleau-Ponty transforms institution, a concept of genetic phenomenology, into a means of explaining the common foundation of things and meanings. Next, I shift my own investigation to a phenomenological approach: specifically, to an internal critique of contemporary interpretations of a recent case of acquired pedophilia in conjunction with brain lesioning, which affords a concrete approach to Merleau-Pontys overcoming of the modern antinomies. Applying the concept of Stiftung to concrete phenomena of choice, I conclude that the freedom of life realizes itself in the advent of necessity, and, correlatively necessity arises as the expression of freedom.In the third chapter, I argue that the ontology of the flesh is simultaneously the outline for a new approach to ethical discourse and action, which makes apparent the truths expressed in both objectivistic and relativistic thought, as well as the mythical character of any absolute notions of necessity or contingency. Firstly, I explicate Merleau-Pontys conception of authenticity, arguing that it evokes openness to the ambiguity of the sense of beings: ambiguous because a beings sense is its function within an always total, and always provisional, network of actual and possible relations. Secondly, I argue that this conception of ambiguity entails both negative and positive meta-ethical consequences: on the one hand, the recognition that a spoken values or principle becomes a dangerous myth insofar as it is taken to have a fixed and unconditionally universal sense; on the other, virtue in general must consist in a continual openness to situational demands to reflect upon the sense of ones words and deeds, as well as to (hyper-)reflect upon the sense and genesis of ones styles of reflection themselves. Taking seriously Merleau-Pontys own suggestion in Signs, I articulate this conception of virtue via an extension and transformation of Machiavellis notion of political prudence, in terms of foresight, an openness to others which is neither domination nor subordination, and self-mastery (i.e., freedom relative to ones past and ones present values). Finally, I argue that the virtue of hyper-reflective openness to ambiguity possesses not just a meta-ethical, but also a normative function. While various normative principles and systems (e.g., deontology, utilitarianism, etc.) may prove well-suited to ones efforts in given situations, the practice of Merleau-Pontian virtue alone can prevent them from regressing into delusional mythologies.

"Heidegger's Being and Time" is one of the most influential and important books in the history of philosophy, but it was left unfinished. The parts we have of it, Divisions I and II of Part One, were meant to be merely preparatory for the unwritten Division III, which was to have formed the point of the entire book when it turned to the topic of being itself. In this book, leading Heidegger scholars and philosophers influenced by Heidegger take up the unanswered questions in Heidegger's masterpiece, speculating on what Division III would have said, and why Heidegger never published it. The contributors' task--to produce a secondary literature on a nonexistent primary work--seems one out of fiction by Borges or Umberto Eco. Why did Heidegger never complete Being and Time? Did he become dissatisfied with it? Did he judge it too subjectivistic, not historical enough, too individualistic, too existential? Was abandoning it part of Heidegger's "Kehre", his supposed turning from his early work to his later work? Might Division III have offered a bridge between the two phases, if a division exists between them? And what does being mean, after all? The contributors, in search of lost Being and Time, consider these and other topics, shedding new light on Heidegger's thought.

One of the most eminent Heidegger scholars of our time, Theodore Kisiel has found worldwide critical acclaim, his particular strength being to set Heidegger's thinking in the context of his life, time and the history of ideas.This volume brings together Kisiel's most important critical and interpretative essays, which can be regarded as a succession of signposts enabling the reader to follow Heidegger in his often difficult path of thinking. At the same time, it is a companion to the author's key work, The Genesis of Heidegger's "Being and Time" (1993).
