This edited volume offers a new approach to understanding social
conventions by way of Martin Heidegger. It connects the
philosopher's conceptions of the anyone, everydayness, and
authenticity with an analysis and critique of social normativity.
Heidegger's account of the anyone is ambiguous. Some see it as a
good description of human sociality, others think of it as an
important critique of modern mass society. This volume seeks to
understand this ambiguity as reflecting the tension between the
constitutive function of conventions for human action and the
critical aspects of conformism. It argues that Heidegger's anyone
should neither be reduced to its pejorative nor its constitutive
dimension. Rather, the concept could show how power and norms
function. This volume would be of interest to scholars and students
of philosophy and the social sciences who wish to investigate the
social applications of the works of Martin Heidegger.
