The question of convivence under the affective tones

Abstract

This article addresses the question of the other within Martin Heidegger's (1889-1976) thinking. Such problem, however, will be examined from the assumption of affective tones (Stimmung), a phenomenon characterized in all the philosophical production of the thinker, although, on that occasion, emphasis is placed on works prior to 1930. Coexistence as a modality of ser- com shows itself imbued and permeated by affections that regionalize the world and shape spaces for interaction and appropriation of ways of being. The research deals with some dimensions and experiences which the being-there (Dasein) establishes in its hermeneutic horizon in order to be guided by specific “affections”, showing the dynamics of coexistence in its relations of proximity and difference through affective tones , as well as through existential structures, such as concern. The study aims, finally, to show some intricacies of Heidegger's analysis regarding the “theme” of the other, since this is a subject little debated by the thinker, since his reflections focus precisely on the effort to break with the traditional notion of “ man ”, which justifies his opportunity for issues other than the one we are discussing on this occasion.
