Critics have charged that Martin Heidegger's account of
authenticity is morally nihilistic, that his fundamental ontology
is either egocentric or chauvinistic; and many see Heidegger's turn
to Nazism in 1933 as following logically from an indifference, and
even hostility, to ""otherness"" in the premises of his early
philosophy. In ""The Fragile ""We"", ethical implications of
Heidegger's ""being and time"", Lawrence Vogel presents 3
interpretations of authentic existence - the existentialist, the
historicist, and the cosmopolitan - each of which is a plausible
version of the personal ideal depicted in ""being and time."" He
then draws parallels between these interpretations and three
moments in the contemporary liberal-communitarian debate over the
relationship of the ""I"" and the ""We."" His book contributes both
to a diagnosis of what there is about ""Being and time"" that
invites moral nihilism and to a sense of how fundamental ontology
might be recast so that ""the other"" is accorded an appropriate
place in an account of human existence.
