Document Details : Title: Herhaling van een naamloze aanwezigheid Subtitle: Heidegger, Levinas Author(s): MAGOMEDOV, Elad Journal: Tijdschrift voor Filosofie Volume: 84 Issue: emeritaatsnummer Date: 2022 Pages: 95-121 DOI: 10.2143/TVF.84.5.3290713 Abstract : After the shock of World War II, we were determined to remember its horrors to prevent them from happening again. Ironically, we ended up in a situation where our very means of remembering the truth fosters its forgetting. What follows is a reflection that will move between Heidegger and Levinas in order to arrive, after all kinds of shortcuts and detours, at a thought that simultaneously belongs to all and none of these thinkers: the thought that repetition can revolve around a truth without succeeding in affirming the reality behind that truth, on the contrary silencing that reality by the hand of the truth, and this because it fails to make ‘the unimaginable’ imaginable. |
