Heidegger, Organization, and Care

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingBook chapterResearchpeer-review

Abstract

Heidegger’s figuration of the human as Dasein has us flickering between a condition of organizational capture and openness. Dasein always has to work from within a historically sedimented condition of instrumental relations and theoretical presentations into which it has fallen, and from which it projects. This chapter critically considers the nature of this capture and openness, specifically in relation to the discussion of conscience and care in Being and Time. Using the Pre-Raphaelite painting The Awakening Conscience by William Holman Hunt as a provocation, I argue the flicker lies with the re-organized disclosure of being that arises from the struggle of letting difference remain a difference.
