THE HEIDEGGERIAN INFLUENCE ON BYUNG-CHUL HANDS CONTEMPORARY COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVE

In the following paper we will distinguish the influence of Heidegger's thought within the framework of Byung-Chul Han's considerations of social and communal bonds, and their respective critical approaches to the metaphysical tradition of subjectivity. Analyzing the way Han articulates his critical interpretations of Sein und Zeit 's analytic within the framework of his own contemporary sociopolitical analyses, we will seek to distinguish continuities and differences between the two perspectives. In this way we intend to highlight both understandings of the human existent articulated around social ties, to account for their respective scopes.
