I don't know the "what else" you have in mind here. <br /><br />If I were to give a short answer, Derrida and Heidegger think that presence is an uncritical assumption of the Western tradition of philosophy as a whole.Carbondale Chasmitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13594688764570047726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724832200411147167.post-64171407563574301392010-04-05T09:41:53.140-07:002010-04-05T09:41:53.140-07:00why presence is attacked leaving everything esle? ...why presence is attacked leaving everything esle? pls explain.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04550258128498530154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724832200411147167.post-56358384551192653132009-08-17T13:36:06.819-07:002009-08-17T13:36:06.819-07:00Heidegger does not entirely eschew a metaphysics o...Heidegger does not entirely eschew a metaphysics of presence. It is one of dyad of presence/ready-at-handedness espoused in Being and Time. Presence is irreducible and fundamental, he claims, and is essentially bound to the ready-at-hand. Alternatively, one could describe them as "substance" and "activity." The problem, then, is when presence is taken as dominant.<br /><br />I have a suspicion that overcoming substance metaphysics is part of the holdup in quantum mechanics.
