-A technical question is a question of the instrumental reasoning, and regards the 'how'.
-A metaphysical question is a question about the 'essence' of things and human beings, for instance, Husserl's question of 'Wesenschau', or Heidegger's question of the 'forgottenness of being' question.
Thanks for all answers. Marc.
Dear Karl,
I try to answer your questions as follows:
(i) If Heidegger's 'forgottenness of being' is not a metaphysical, then where does it belong to?
(ii) Please distinguish between Kant's noumenon and Husserl's Wesenschau!
(iii) You are speaking about 'things' (in themselves); well, human beings are not things (in themselves); what are they, then?
(iv) What do you mean by speculative realism?
Please reanswer my questions sequentially, i.e. according to my points (i), (ii), etc.
Thanks in advance for your answers. Marc.
Is it possible to understand what a thing is essentially without understanding how does the thing come into being?
Dear Karl,
Thanks for your fourfold answer.
(i) There are more people who critisize the 'ontotheology'.
(ii) Did I ask for the essence of 'things'?
(iii) That human beings are not things is as clear as crystal.
(iv) Do you have the e-mail address of Meillasoux? I will invite him/her for a transdisciplinary congress; your paper might be very interesting. Please send me
if the fulltext is already completed. My e-mail address is as follows:
. Thank you beforehand. Marc.
