two conflicting paradigms on a
phenomenological genealogy of Europe
Description
This paper explores two different, even opposite, genealogies
of Europe in contemporary phenomenology by
Martin Heidegger and Jan Patočka. On the one hand, the
paper focuses upon Heidegger’s 1936 lecture on “Europe
and German Philosophy”, which is one of his lesserknown
texts. In light of this reading, the paper examines a
series of key commentaries by Éliane Escoubas, Franco
Volpi, Franco Chiereghin, and Reiner Schürmann. On the
other hand, the later Jan Patočka’s discourse on Europe
lies upon utterly different hermeneutic premisses, construing
a new humanism and renewing the metaphysical tradition
in the form of negative Platonism. It concludes by
arguing that the major differences between Heidegger’s
and Patočka’s phenomenological genealogies of Europe
are, first, their different stances toward Western metaphysics
and humanism, and, second, their divergent understandings
of historical lifeworlds.
