Document Details : Title: Heidegger's Destruction of the Image Author(s): RUBIO, Roberto Journal: Etudes phénoménologiques - Phenomenological Studies Volume: 10 Date: 2026 Pages: 139-153 DOI: 10.2143/EPH.10.0.3295010 Abstract : In this paper, I argue that Heidegger’s approach to the phenomena of production and the image during the 1920s and 1930s corresponds to what he calls 'destruction' (Destruktion). According to my interpretation, Heidegger’s destruction of the image consists of a pars destruens and a pars construens. In the 1920s, the pars destruens corresponded to his critique of the ontological model of production, which was mainly directed at the Platonic notion of the Idea. The pars construens involved the reappropriation of Kantian transcendental schematism with a view to developing a theory of meaning constitution within the framework of Being and Time. In the 1930s, as a response to the crisis of Being and Time, the pars construens took the form of an approach to art, while the pars destruens consisted of a critique of modernity as the age of the world as image. |
