Heidegger’s Concept of Philosophical Method: Innovating Philosophy in the Age of Global Warming: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Heidegger’s Concept of Philosophical Method: Innovating Philosophy in the Age of Global Warming" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book provides new interpretations of Heideggers philosophical method in light of 20th-century postmodernism and 21st-century speculative realism. In doing so, it raises important questions about philosophical method in the age of global warming and climate change.Vincent Blok addresses topics that have yet to be extensively discussed in Heidegger scholarship, including Heideggers method of questioning, the religious character of Heideggers philosophical method, and Heideggers conceptualization of philosophical method as explorative confrontation. He is also critical of Heideggers conceptuality and develops a post-Heideggerian concept of philosophical method, which provides a new perspective on the role of willing, poetry, and earth-interest in contemporary philosophy. This earth-interest turns out to be particularly important to consider and leads to critical reflections on Heideggers concept of Earth, the necessity of Earth-interest in contemporary philosophy, and a post-Heideggerian concept of the Earth.Heideggers Concept of Philosophical Method will be of interest primarily to Heidegger scholars and graduate students, but its discussion of philosophical method and environmental philosophy will also appeal to scholars in other disciplines and areas of philosophy.About the AuthorVincent Blok is associate professor in Philosophy of Technology, Business Ethics and Responsible Innovation, Wageningen University (The Netherlands). He holds a PhD in philosophy of technology from Leiden University. His books include Ernst Jngers Philosophy of Technology. Heidegger and the Poetics of the Anthropocene (Routledge 2017).

Dedicated to my students (Jochem Zwier, Lucien von Schomberg, Roel Veraart)

Voorburg, The Netherlands, May 15 2019

Earlier versions of portions of appeared as Nothing Else Matters: Towards an Ontological Concept of the Materiality of the Earth in the Age of Global Warming, Research in Phenomenology 19(1) (2019).

I am very grateful for the fruitful comments of Peter Reynaert on an earlier draft of . Thanks also to Mithun Bantwal Rao, Lucien von Schomberg, Roel Veraart, and Jochem Zwier who proofread parts of the manuscript and provided fruitful comments.

This book could not have been written without the long-lasting inspiration of my doctoral supervisor, Wouter Oudemans. Another source of inspiration for this study was a reading group at Nijmegen University, from 2007 to 2013, on the philosophy of Martin Heidegger. The fruitful discussions with Chris Bremmers, Ben Vedder, Gert-Jan van der Heiden, and many others were very helpful to test my interpretation of Heidegger in this book. I am also very grateful for the reading group on philosophy and art that I started during my studies in philosophy. The fruitful discussions with Martijn Pieterse, David Gosker, and many others over the years helped me to navigate in the difficult domain of art. Another source of inspiration was the reading group at Wageningen University that I started in 2014 on the intersection of fundamental philosophy and the natural sciences, together with my dear philosophical friend Pieter Lemmens. The fruitful discussions with him, Jochem Zwier, Bart Gremmen, Henk van den Belt, Guido Ruivenkamp, and many others were very helpful for the development of my ideas in this book.

I would like to thank Catherine ODea for her great help in editing my work in proper English and Wageningen University for its support while I was writing this book. Finally, I would like to thank my wife and children, Petra, Gudrun, Storm, and Demian, for their support, love, and understanding while I was working on weekends to finalize this book.

In his 1936 book, The Crisis of the European Sciences and Transcendental Phenomenology, Edmund Husserl calls attention to a crisis in modern philosophy. This crisis concerns the questionability of the scientific method of philosophy. On the one hand, modern philosophy appreciates the naturalism and objectivism of the positive sciences and tends to mimic their approach. On the other hand, however, because of scepticism about its ability to live up to its ideal of being a universal science with an apodictic method of research, philosophy threatens to perish. According to Husserl, the unscientific character of modern philosophy consists in the unlawfulness and uncertainty about its method.

In response to this crisis, Husserl developed the transcendental phenomenological method of philosophy. The ambition of this new method is not, however, to live up to the ideals of the positive sciences. For the positive sciences too are in crisis, according to Husserl. The crisis of the positive sciences consists in their unilateral orientation towards objectifiable positive facts, while neglecting the decisive questions for human existence regarding the sense or meaning of life. This sense or meaning is not just a subjective illusion that has to be rejected in favour of positive facts but rather constitutes a domain of scientific study in its own right. The crisis of the sciences, therefore, consists in the questionability of a scientific method that avoids this type of question and ignores the sense or meaning of human life in favour of the positive facts; the crisis of the philosophical approach that mimics the method of the positive sciences consists in its uncritical conformity to this scientific ideal and its inability to rehabilitate the centrality of questions regarding the ideals, values, and norms of human life. The positive sciences have decapitated philosophys original orientation on the meaningful order of life, and phenomenology once again focuses precisely on the sense or meaning of human life (see Crowell, 2001).
