Sample text

Of decisive importance, Bigwood finds a more woman-friendly ethos in Heidegger than in more popular strains of deconstructive and poststructuralist feminist theorizing, strains that unfortunately inherit the ‘‘neo-Nietzschean’’ and ‘‘nihilistic’’ underpinnings of Derridean deconstruction. Although Bartky’s ‘‘Shame and Gender’’ relied upon the fact that a phenomenological model of Dasein or subjectivity regards embodied attunement as a weighty occurrence, it is Bigwood who first challenges head on the claim that Dasein is pseudoconcrete when compared with Derrida.

The later works distinguish sharply between categorizing entities and responding to what calls Dasein to attentively receive it. Through word, Dasein lets things come forth into presencing for a while, to become illuminated by and to illumine Dasein’s own understanding. One important topic for feminism thus pertains to the kind of poetic ethos that can be fleshed out of Heidegger as a basis for establishing harmonious communal or intersubjective relations. There is a shift away from the willful ethos characteristic of the writings of the period from 1929 through 1936, works that can be said to carry pronounced masculine overtones, whereas the mature thought establishes a poetic ethos that is decisively more feminine and receptive in nature.

Graybeal argues that both the early Heideggerian search for a joyous or authentic mode of life and especially the later Heideggerian notion of meditative thinking teach us how to live after the death of God, the Father. ’ ’’20 Second, her work tacitly explains why many women, at least during graduate school, feel great kinship with Heidegger. That kinship arises because there is an intimate connection between overcoming metaphysics and recovering lost, feminine styles of acting and being. Third, she demonstrates that the early Heidegger’s conception of Dasein as rooted in care as well as later notions such as the source and mystery of existence all tap into the lost feminine dimensions of Western Being.
