The recent engagement between analytic philosophy and Heideggerian thought: Logic and language

Abstract

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.

Jc Beall’s current and potential impact on the continental philosophy of non-classical logics

“…5 Perhaps the most extensive work on Heidegger and non-classical logic is carried out by Filippo Casati (along with coauthors Naoya Fujikawa, Michael Wheeler, and Priest). Casati argues that Heidegger endorses dialetheism, as evinced in his writings on ineffability, intentionality, mereology, ontology, language, nothingness, and grounding (Casati, 2017a(Casati, , 2017b(Casati, , 2019(Casati, , 2020(Casati, , 2022Casati & Fujikawa, 2015;Casati & Wheeler, 2016;Casati & Priest, 2019). Francesco Gandellini uncovers a dialetheic notion of negation in Heidegger's concepts of ontological difference and Ereignis (Gandellini, 2018).…”
