Paths to alterity. The understanding of the other in the Heidegger's elaborations around ‘Sein und Zeit’
Abstract
This article addresses the considerations of the otherness of the other in Heidegger's early elaborations. Understood as a condition of possibility for a proper approach to ethical issues, here we analyze tensions and limitations in the thematization of the other, with the aim of accounting for the transition towards a radical understanding of alterity in his works after 1930, beyond of the anthropological and subjective limitations of Husserl's elaborations. To account for this, we first analyze the respective treatments in Husserl's phenomenology, emphasizing the limits of his approach. Secondly, we approach the elaborations around the otherness of the other in the works of Heidegger, to elucidate the transitional character of the basic understanding, from its own displacements and limitations. Finally, we circumscribe its focus on relational structures, highlighting some discussions about ethical implications. In this way, we propose to account for the border character of a philosophical understanding of the other, in its push towards its radicalization in contemporary thought.
