Heidegger's Embodied Others

What is it about?

In this article I respond to questions raised in the field of the cognitive sciences about face-to-face relations in Heidegger's Being and Time. I put forward a different, holistic reading of Heidegger's account of other people. Instead of thinking about other people's bodies as expressing their emotions, I argue, via Heidegger, that it is more useful to think of bodies as gesturing toward the context in which these emotions arise.

Why is it important?

The research is important because it investigates and questions the ways in which we interact with and respond to other people.
