Sample text

It goes without saying that the political question is not the only one upon which a philosophical history of Heidegger’s reception could produce positive insights, in spite of all the noise and turmoil that have focused public attention on this issue. The risks I have taken and the wagers I have made are not negligible. ”15 What is the best path, what is the best way for us to think in order to meet the challenges of our epoch of distress? I do not claim that the saga that I have told and the philosophical conclusions which have been drawn in Heidegger en France are the best ones, nor are they the exclusive ways of addressing such a rich and complex topic.

In the first volume, I wrote the history of how Heidegger’s thought was received in France, from the nineteen-thirties up to the end of the twentieth century; the second volume is made up of a collection of interviews with philosophers and interpreters who played an important and very distinct role in that reception. I have tried to broaden the horizon and include very critical as well as orthodox Heideggerian viewpoints, from Derrida to Biemel, from Faye to Dastur, from Professor Janicaud wrote this chapter in English for presentation at the annual meeting of the North American Heidegger Conference in May 2002 at Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU).

I shall first try to bolster this hypothesis, summing up the arguments and collecting the main examples that have allowed me to reconstitute Heidegger’s French reception as a creative appropriation rather than a passive reception, or in more literary terms, as a saga rather than as an ordinary story. In the second part of this essay, I will adopt a more critical approach to this reception, that is to say, to its qualities and its flaws regarding the understanding and interpretation of Heidegger’s thought, as well as to its historical limitations (by also taking into account the possibility of a radical change in the coming years).
