Heidegger's Critique of Phenomenology and the Concept of Participatory Knowing
Heidegger critiques the lack of participatory knowing in Husserl's work. Marlo Ponti addresses this with the concept of embodiment, essential for cognitive science's return to contact epistemology. The independence of being and participatory knowing within ontology remains unaddressed. Heidegger emphasizes moving beyond subjectivity and the Cartesian cognitive grammar.
Heidegger's Understanding of Truth as Alathea and the Notion of Relevance Realization
Truth as Alathea involves the openness of comportment and attunement to being, beyond mere propositional correctness. Relevance must be continuously constrained by the depth of being's withdrawal and shining forth simultaneously. Heidegger's critique extends to the misunderstanding of being as a supreme being, leading to modal confusion and ontological misconceptions.
Connecting Heidegger's Philosophy to AI Critiques by Herbert Dreyfus
Herbert Dreyfus criticizes computational psychology and AI through Heidegger's lens, emphasizing relevance realization over propositional computation. The forgetfulness of being's independence traps us in the halving mode, hindering proper engagement with reality. Dreyfus's insights illuminate the limitations of a computational approach to understanding cognition.
Corbin's Concept of Gnosis and its Relationship to Heidegger's Philosophy
Corbin links Heidegger's dynamic coupling of knowing and being to gnosis, a redemptive knowledge transforming the knower and reality. Gnosis embodies participatory knowing, connecting self-understanding to world-experience. Corbin's emphasis on gnosis echoes Heidegger's call to awaken from the meaning crisis, offering a path to existential liberation and deeper understanding.
