The problem, however, is that without this stricture, we are unable to make certain distinctions that are indispensable for understanding phenomena in the diversity of their appearing. Take, for example, technological phenomena (e.g., televisions, radios, computers, etc.) On Marion’s account, these phenomena give themselves; show themselves insofar as they give themselves. But is this really giving, or instead, a kind of intrusion, a permeating of our space by technological phenomena? What Marion is missing, is a robust account of the context, or better, the locus of apparition that allows us to differentiate the ways in which phenomena show up. I will argue that Heidegger’s notion of Ereignis is such a locus. 2020-08-02 English text Kent State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1595008180179881 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1595008180179881 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
