Assessing
How Heidegger Thinks Power Through the History of Being
-
The trace of how Heidegger
thinks power through the history of being can be followed back to the concept
of energeia in Aristotle's Metaphysics. According to Heidegger,
this concept is the start of the trajectory of the being of beings cast
as Wirklichkeit, actuality. Energeia is paired metaphysically with dynamis,
i.e. power, potential, capability. One such power is the art of rhetoric,
famously also investigated by Aristotle. But what is the power of such
a know-how when faced with the otherness of the other?...
