Abstract:
|
It is now recognized that Heidegger’s fundamental ontology as it is presented in Being and Time was born in a confrontation with and appropriation of Aristotle. The actual content of this appropriation has been a matter of debate. My aim in this paper is to enter this debate and show how, exactly, Heidegger appropriated Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, Book Six discussion of phronēsis in Division One of Being and Time. I do this by, first, explicating Heidegger’s thoughts on Aristotle and, second, by focusing on the way in which two crucial Aristotelian concepts, phronēsis and hou heneka, manifest themselves in Division One of Being and Time. The point here is that Heidegger, even in Division One of Being and Time, attempted to take into account Aristotle’s thoughts on praxis and phronēsis and, in turn, that Being and Time is potentially a phenomenology of practice. |

It is clear that Heidegger’s discussion of being-in- the-world in Division One of Being and Time has drawn extensively one Aristotle’s analysis of phronēsis and for that reason Heidegger cannot be read as a thinker who has in a traditional manner privileged producing over acting and in turn distorted the phenomenon of action; instead it |
