My manner of reading Heidegger is a questioning that seeks to release the text to its most transforming possibilities. Beneath the often weighty ‘Heideggerism,’ there lie some extraordinary challenging thoughts.
One of these concerns the constitutive place of ‘Mitsein’ (Being-with) for the Dasein, one is led to rethink the nature of community.
Another theme of my reading of Heidegger concerns the relation between language and human being that has not been grasped in the current debate concerning humanism and the nature of the human.
My work on language in Heidegger has led me to other authors, including Benjamin, Celan, Blanchot, and Lacan.
I try to address the fundamental questions concerning ontology and ethics. My recent book, Infant Figures, is about the infans in us all, and the possibility of an affirmative assumption of a relation to alterity.
