Martin Heidegger on Animals - Dictionary of Arguments
Gadamer I 267 Animal/Heidegger/Gadamer: (...) the being of children or animals - in contrast to that ideal of "innocence" - [remains] an ontological problem (...)(1). In any case, their way of being is not in the sense and historicity that Heidegger claims for human existence. One may also ask oneself what it means that human existence in turn is carried by something extra-historical, something natural. Gadamer I 268 If one really wants to break the spell of idealistic speculation, one obviously must not conceive the way of being of "life" from self-consciousness. >Life, >Self-consciousness, >Consciousness. When Heidegger undertook to revise his transcendental-philosophical self-conception of "Being and Time", he consequently had to look at the problem of life in a new way. Thus he spoke in the Humanism- Letter of the abyss that gapes between human and animal(2). There is no doubt that Heidegger's own transcendental foundation of fundamental ontology in the analysis of Dasein (>Dasein/Heidegger) did not yet allow a positive development of the way of being of life. But all this does not change the fact that the meaning of what Heidegger calls existential is fundamentally missed if one thinks that one can play off a certain existential ideal, whatever it may be, against the existential ideal of "concern". >Terminology/Heidegger. 1.
