183. Parentheses of Reception : What Are Philologists for in a Destitute Time?John T. Hamilton, 2022, original scientific article Abstract: The encounter between received poetic traditions and rational critique appears to characterize reception itself as an interruption. The tradition impinges on present discourse and calls for an evaluation in terms of the present. Regarded as such, reception requires a translation that would negotiate the relationship. The consequence of formulating the question of reception in this way is that the received past subsists parenthetically, inserted into the present while remaining somehow apart from the present. An especially provocative illustration of the disruptive and parenthetic nature of reception, including the strategies of translation that it instigates, can be found in the life and work of Martin Heidegger who, perhaps more than any other philosopher of the twentieth century, persistently reflected on the interchange between poetic tradition and thinking.

184. Zur Nähe von Denken und Dichten beim frühen Heidegger : Eine SpurensucheHolger Zaborowski, 2022, original scientific article Abstract: On Proximity of Thinking and Poetizing in Early Heidegger. A Search for Traces
The paper discusses the question of the role of the relationship between thinking and poetizing, which is of immense importance for Heidegger’s late work, in his early hermeneutics of facticity. Heidegger’s early thinking is denoted with the search for the unconditionality of factical life in its historicity that cannot be comprehended neither under the conditions of a worldview nor of a strict science in Husserl’s sense. In his search, he continually encounters the realms of art and poetry, which he experiences as fundamental points of orientation. Although Heidegger does not expressly reflect upon them, such experiences of the proximity of thinking and poetizing did leave traces in his lectures.

185. Martin Heidegger und Georg Trakl : Die andere Zwiesprache zwischen Denken und DichtenAlfred Denker, 2022, professional article Abstract: Martin Heidegger and Georg Trakl. The Other Conversation between Thinking and Poetizing
In the paper, I develop some thoughts on the relationship between thinking and poetizing on the basis of Heidegger’s understanding of Georg Trakl’s poetry. I attempt to appropriately illuminate Heidegger’s interpretation in two steps: first through a discussion of Trakl’s poem “Ein Winterabend” (“A Winter Evening”) and subsequently through a contemplation on Trakl’s “Nachtgesang” (“nightly song”). The poet sings and the thinker can only contemplate upon his poetry. Of central importance are the question about the calling of the poet, whereby he calls being forth, and about the human mortality. Where can hope still be found in an era of the gods who have fled?

186. The Eternal (Re)Turn : Heidegger and the “Absolutes Getragensein” of MythJafe Arnold, 2022, original scientific article Abstract: This article aims to initiate the retrieval of Martin Heidegger’s thinking on myth. Beginning with a reflection on the dilemmas and precedents of approaching myth, this paper turns to an extensive review of Heidegger’s major, explicit treatments of mythology, the philosophy of myth, and mythos, ranging from the “mythical Dasein” of Being and Time and his review of Ernst Cassirer’s Mythical Thought to the implicated hermeneutics of mythos in Heidegger’s later ancient Greek lectures. On the basis of such a panoramic excavation with interspersed commentary, it is argued that Heidegger not only increasingly intimated a particular significance for the (re)consideration of myth, but ultimately approached myth in no less than the light of the disclosure of Being. Thus, this article lays the preliminary groundwork to serve further inquiry into myth per/in Heidegger.

187. On Home (das Heim) and the Uncanny (das Unheimliche) in HeideggerMateja Kurir-Borovčić, 2022, original scientific article Abstract: The paper aims to argue that the question of home (das Heim) is one of the crucial elements of Martin Heidegger’s philosophy, which has been tackled by the German philosopher throughout his lifework in close connection to its opposition, namely the uncanny (das Unheimliche). The paper discusses the different understandings of home in Heidegger’s philosophy starting from the seminal works, such as Being and Time (1927) and Introduction to Metaphysics (1935), as well as Hölderlin’s Hymn “The Ister” (1942) and “Letter on Humanism” (1946) including “Building Dwelling Thinking” (1951). In his argumentation on the topic from 1935 onwards, Heidegger developed the question of home within the hermeneutical analysis of Sophocles’s Antigone, specifically the first verse of the famous choral song and the term δεινόν. In the conclusion, the standpoints of Jacques Derrida and David Farrell Krell on the subject are confronted, in order to discuss the paradoxical structure of the topic of home in Heidegger’s philosophy and, more generally, within philosophy of architecture.

188. The Gadamer–Habermas Debate through Mahabharata’s Women : Intersectional Feminist Engagements with Tradition and CritiqueKanchana Mahadevan, 2022, original scientific article Abstract: Despite their affinities in criticizing the Cartesian subject, contextualizing texts, and upholding dialogue as integral to interpretation, there are differences between the hermeneutic projects of Gadamer and Habermas. While Gadamer emphasizes real dialogue and continuity with tradition, Habermas highlights ideal communication and critical distance. With regard to the underexplored feminist intervention in their debate, it can be said that there are greater affinities between feminist thought and Gadamer arising from their commitment to historically situated thought. But the vantage position of tradition in Gadamer has generated its set of feminist apprehensions. The paper scrutinizes the consequences of intervening in the Gadamer–Habermas debate on the hermeneutics of tradition from a feminist perspective. Analyzing women characters in the Indian epic Mahabharata, it argues that the intersectionality between their gendered identity and varied social locations of class and caste leads to diverse feminist perspectives. In conclusion, the paper ponders over whether they are all equally critical and the extent to which they can be reconciled.

189. “Molt greignour senefiance" : The Role of Interpreters in The Quest of the Holy GrailAlenka Koželj, 2022, original scientific article Abstract: In the 13th-century French romance The Quest of the Holy Grail various interpreters appear, who—through Christian hermeneutics—explain to the knights of the quest their dreams, visions, prophecies, etc. The present article discusses the question of the source of authority of the interpreters, and analyzes in the text itself the foundations of such an authority. One of the most important starting points is the presupposition that the procedures of biblical exegesis influenced the romance and the image of the interpreter.

190. Hamlet and the Philosophical Interpretation of LiteratureWilliam Franke, 2022, original scientific article Abstract: The huge tradition of philosophical readings of Hamlet is focused here on the theme of unknowing as crucial to Shakespeare’s epistemology. In contrast with the rising paradigm of experimental science, which Hamlet and fellow student Horatio bring into the play and which informs even the method employed for proving the guilt of the king, Hamlet dramatizes the advent of a new model of unknowing knowing by faith in “providence.” This constitutes a transformation of an older paradigm of prophetic knowledge by revelation, which comes to Hamlet in the form of the ghost of his father, a figure arousing doubt rather than certainty, and hesitation rather than action. With Hamlet’s blind trust in what he calls “providence,” the metaphysical order is no longer an object of knowledge, and yet it can ground belief and can still guide a kind of action that proves finally to be efficacious, even if tragic. Philosophical readings by Cutrofello, Critchley, Pascucci, Lukacher, and others are shown to line up with this non-objective kind of knowing, or more exactly unknowing, which nevertheless renews a kind of prophetic dimension of revelation in poetic language.
