Who’s afraid of Derrida?
Gumbrecht and the metaphysics of presence
Keywords:
Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht; Jacques Derrida; Martin Heidegger; Metaphysics of Presence.Abstract
This paper proposes a reflection on the concept of presence theorized by Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht from Heidegger’s thought, confronting it with the philosophy of Jacques Derrida, especially in his deconstruction of the metaphysics of presence. In that regard, it is not a matter of pursuing the Heideggerian presence throughout his work, neither defending Derrida from the accusations of “linguistic existentialism”, but rather to demonstrate that, by having Heidegger as an ally, Gumbrecht’s crusade against metaphysics and the hermeneutic field ends up restoring it more strongly, committing himself to what he aims to oppose.
