Heidegger: πάθος as the Thing Itself

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Heidegger on Affect

Part of the book series: Philosophers in Depth ((PID))

Abstract

Heidegger’s phenomenological readings of Aristotle on πάσχειν and πάθος revolutionized the phenomenology of affect, and he carried that revolution into his later work on πάθος, Lichtung, and Ereignis. This chapter argues that πάθος, read as Dasein’s thrownness or appropriation, is die Sache selbst of Heidegger’s thought.
