Heidegger, Ethics and the Practice of Ontology presents an
important new examination of ethics and ontology in Heidegger.
There remains a basic conviction throughout Heidegger's thought
that the event by which Being is given or disclosed is somehow
'prior' to our relation to the many beings we meet in our everyday
lives. This priority makes it possible to talk about Being 'as
such'. It also sanctions the relegation of ethics to a secondary
position with respect to ontology. However, Heidegger's
acknowledgement that ontology itself must remain intimately bound
to concrete existence problematises the priority accorded to the
ontological dimension. David Webb takes this bond as a key point of
reference and goes on to develop critical perspectives that open up
from within Heidegger's own thought, particularly in relation to
Heidegger's debt to Aristotelian physics and ethics. Webb examines
the theme of continuity and its role in the constitution of the 'as
such' in Heidegger's ontology and argues that to address ontology
is to engage in an ethical practice and vice versa.
