ABSTRACT
My philosophical project For quite a few years, I have been questioning vision, the gift of nature we call sight. My thinking in this regard has been guided by the hermeneutical method of phenomenology that Heidegger worked out in Being and Time, already announcing his decisive break with Husserl in the potentially very radical, very subversive formulation of his Introduction, because this method alone, I believe, truly and appropriately respects the reality of our experience as lived: it alone enables us to articulate this experience in a way that dynamically and creatively carries it forward; and it alone, therefore, appropriately legitimates and empowers subjectivity-beyond essentialism, beyond the will to power, beyond nihilism.
