Inhaltsangabe

Time and the Shared World challenges the common view that Heidegger offers few resources for understanding humanity&;s social nature. The book demonstrates that Heidegger&;s reformulation of traditional notions of subjectivity has wide-ranging implications for understanding the nature of human relationships. Irene McMullin shows that, contrary to entrenched critiques, Heidegger&;s characterization of selfhood as fundamentally social presupposes the responsive acknowledgment of each person&;s particularity and otherness.

In doing so, McMullin argues that Heidegger&;s work on the social nature of the self must be located within a philosophical continuum that builds on Kant and Husserl&;s work regarding the nature of the a priori and the fundamental structures of human temporality, while also pointing forward to developments of these themes to be found in Heidegger&;s later work and in such thinkers as Sartre and Levinas. By developing unrecognized resources in Heidegger&;s work, Time and the Shared World is able to provide a Heidegger-inspired account of respect and the intersubjective origins of normativity.
