Heidegger’s refusal to ask about alternate ways of Being depended on Hegel’s work.

Evidence

More than a century later, Heidegger would assert that it is impossible and futile to ask about the possibility of a wholly different ‘way (Weise)’ of Being from the one which occurred in the metaphysical tradition as a ‘forgetfulness of Being’. But for him to say that, Hegel’s entire work on the essence of history and tradition was necessary. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 1117

Categorization

  • XREF: The claim that Heidegger’s gesture presupposes Hegel’s entire labor is a lineage claim — connects to the reader’s European intellectual history and to how Continental philosophy inherits its problems. — connects to: Adorno judged Heidegger’s Hegel reading as rigorously dialectical despite its ontology errors — Dirk Braunstein, Adorno’s Critique of Political Economy, 133
