Abstract

This study investigates how Martin Heidegger’s notion of “the thing” (Das Ding) can help rescue modern disenchantment with regard to its root in the World, a concept developed from “being-in-the-world” presented in Being and Time, and later taken as a participant in the bilateral polemos illustrated in die Gestalt (signifying Being’s strife to disclose itself against the Earth: self-concealing concealment). In Section 1, I analyze the occurrence of disenchantment by critically reviewing several thinkers’ discussions of it, pointing out that “faciality”—which has structured the modern Western understanding of reality—is the cornerstone of ontotheology, as well as the collapse of it: disenchantment. In Section 2, to demonstrate how Heidegger’s rediscovery of usefulness in a de-subjectified discourse of signification has challenged the positivistic view attached to “faciality”, I examine Heidegger’s idea of “readiness-to-hand,” revealing the basic temporal–spatial units composing the “handiness” of categorical beings and its relation to Dasein, progressing thereon to the analysis of a thing-centered worldview of Heidegger’s phenomenology. In Section 3, I demonstrate how this thing-centered worldview has the potential to form a preparative stage for re-enchantment of the World by uncovering the concealed existentiality within things, aligning with Heidegger’s polemos in his philosophy of art.

海德格尔的世界通过 "有为 "重新焕发魅力
本研究探讨了马丁-海德格尔的 "物"(Das Ding)概念如何有助于拯救现代失魅,因为它的根源在于 "世界"。"世界 "这一概念是从《存在与时间》中提出的 "存在于世界 "发展而来的,后来在《格式塔》(die Gestalt)中被视为双边论战的参与者(意指 "存在 "为揭示自身而与 "大地 "进行的斗争:自我遮蔽的隐藏)。在第一节中,我通过批判性地回顾几位思想家对 "失魅 "的讨论来分析 "失魅 "的发生,指出 "面性"--它构建了现代西方对现实的理解--是本体论的基石,也是本体论的崩溃:"失魅"。在第二节中,为了说明海德格尔在去主体化的符号话语中对有用性的重新发现如何挑战了附着于 "面子性 "的实证主义观点,我考察了海德格尔的 "随时可得 "思想,揭示了构成分类存在物的 "随时可得 "的基本时空单位及其与 "存在"(Dasein)的关系,进而分析了海德格尔现象学中以物为中心的世界观。在第 3 节中,我将论证这种以事物为中心的世界观如何有可能通过揭示事物内部隐藏的存在性来为世界的再创造提供一个准备阶段,这与海德格尔在其艺术哲学中的论战是一致的。
