Martin Heidegger's philosophy is famous for being unusually rich. It ranges over technology, poetry, theology, history, and many other subjects. In this paper, I focus my attention on two topics which are particularly close to the hearts of analytic philosophers: logic and language. I show that Heidegger faces two different kinds of paradoxes: an ontic paradox and an ontological paradox. Moreover, for each one of these paradoxes, I give an overview of how both Heidegger and the philosophers who engage with his thought have tried to overcome them by challenging either a certain account of language or the authority of logic in philosophical discourse.

“…12 There have also been attempts to offer substantive philosophical interpretations of the notion of a null object. For instance, Giraud (2013) construes it as a Meinongian individual lacking all nuclear properties, 13 Priest (2014a, b) as a Heideggerian 'nothing', and Casati and Fujikawa (2017) as the complement of the fusion of all existing and nonexisting objects, while others have gone as far as construing the null object as the omnipresent devil (Oppy 1997, fn. 19) or, at the opposite extreme, as the ultimate incarnation of divine omnipresent simplicity (Hudson 2006(Hudson , 2009.…”

Is Weak Supplementation analytic?

Mereological principles are often controversial; perhaps the most stark contrast is between those who claim that Weak Supplementation is analytic-constitutive of our notion of proper parthood-and those who argue that the principle is simply false, and subject to many counterexamples. The aim of this paper is to diagnose the source of this dispute. I'll suggest that the dispute has arisen by participants failing to be sensitive to two different conceptions of proper parthood: the outstripping conception and the non-identity conception. I'll argue that the outstripping conception (together with a specific set of definitions for other mereological notions), can deliver the analyticity of Weak Supplementation on at least one sense of 'analyticity'. I'll also suggest that the non-identity conception cannot do so independently of considerations to do with mereological extensionality.

Graham Priest’s Theory of Gluons concerns the problem of unity, i.e. what makes an object into a unity? Based on his theory of Gluons, Priest gives his accounts of being and nothingness. In this paper, I will explore the relationship between nothingness and the being of the totality of every object, and then, I will try to demonstrate that, according to Gluon Theory, these two have the same properties, or in other words, nothingness is the being of the totality of every object.
