Abstract
This article explores the challenges of intercultural dialogue between European and non-European epistemologies through a study of Heidegger’s conversation with a Japanese thinker. It discusses the inherent challenges and potential failures in such dialogues, emphasizing the differences in language and thought systems, and concludes by considering the ethical implications of these dialogues and the necessity of an “ethics of not speaking”.
Zusammenfassung
Dieser Beitrag setzt sich mit der Problematik interkulturellen Dialogs zwischen europäischen und außereuropäischen Erkenntnistheorien anhand einer Untersuchung von Heideggers Gespräch mit einem japanischen Denker auseinander. Die solchen Dialogen innewohnenden Herausforderungen und ihr potentielles Scheitern werden unter Hervorhebung der Unterschiede in Sprache und Denkweise erörtert. Der Beitrag schließt mit einer Betrachtung der ethischen Implikationen dieser Dialoge und der Notwendigkeit einer „Ethik des Nichtsprechens“.
