Heidegger on Logic
Heidegger on Logic by Filippo Casati, published by Cambridge University Press on September 22, 2022, is a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between logic and being. This new edition, comprising 300 pages, delves into whether adherence to logical principles shapes our worldview or if alternative ways of being influence the normative constraints of logic. The book raises critical questions about the nature of assertions in logic and their implications for metaphysical inquiries, inviting readers to consider the boundaries of logical thought.
In this collection of essays, leading scholars engage with Heidegger’s perspectives, examining the relevance of his ideas in contemporary philosophical discourse. The discussions focus on the challenges posed by thinking about being versus beings, and whether this necessitates a reevaluation of logic’s scope. By addressing these complex themes, the book contributes to ongoing debates in philosophy, logic, and metaphysics, making it a significant resource for those interested in modern philosophical inquiries.
Official synopsis Publisher
Does adherence to the principles of logic commit us to a particular way of viewing the world? Or are there ways of being – ways of behaving in the world, including ways of thinking, feeling, and speaking – that ground the normative constraints that logic imposes? Does the fact that assertions, the traditional elements of logic, are typically made about beings present a problem for metaphysical (or post-metaphysical) prospects of making assertions meaningfully about being? Does thinking about being (as opposed to beings) accordingly require revising or restricting logic’s reach – and, if so, how is this possible? Or is there something precious about the very idea of thinking the limits of thinking? Contemporary scholars have become increasing sensitive to how Heidegger, much like Wittgenstein, instructively poses such questions. Heidegger on Logic is a collection of new essays by leading scholars who critically ponder the efficacy of his responses to them.
