Some potential alternative phenomenological sources for key claims which underpin IPA (i.e avoiding Heidegger)

 

 Just a scratchpad, because it has come up at PHaR a couple of times!

Claims developed as underpinning concepts for IPA, which are often represented as originating in Heidegger	Alternative phenomenological sources for these claims
1. Person and world are mutually constitutive [dasein]	Sartre's Being and Nothingness [is developed with some substantive deviations from B&T, but they don't undermine the central point we might want to make for IPA's purposes re: phenomenological ontology]
2. Being-with others is a fundamental aspect of human being [mitsein]	Ideas which are actually developed much further - and more clearly - by Jean-Luc Nancy (2000).
3. All phenomenological work is necessarily and inevitably interpretative    ... because, e.g:   3a. All attempts to bracket or be 'objective' are ultimately unsuccessful	Gadamer [1989] Ricoeur [1970]
3b. All observations are shaped by our position as beings-in-the-world  [thrown-ness]	Merleau-Ponty [1964].
3c. Our fore-understandings are often only revealed to us through our encounters with the object of our inquiry	Ricoeur extends this much further through narrativity [1980]
4. The hermeneutic tradition is a rich resource for thinking about the responsibilities and burdens which fall to the interpreter	Gadamer [1989]. The wider hermeneutic tradition itself! Ricoeur [1981].
5. Language is the 'house of being'	Gadamer [1989] offers a more developed constitutive account of language. ------- Gadamer, H. G. (1989). Truth and method. London: Stagbooks.   Ricoeur, P. (1970).
