Description
Heidegger's concept of selfhood is often misunderstood as being isolated and individualistic. However, Irene McMullin argues that Heidegger's reformulation of traditional notions of subjectivity reveals a fundamentally social nature.
This reinterpretation has significant implications for understanding human relationships, and McMullin demonstrates how it builds on the work of Kant and Husserl to provide a nuanced account of respect and normativity. By exploring the intersubjective origins of these concepts, Time and the Shared World offers a unique perspective on Heidegger's philosophy.
