Heidegger´s construction of Being is paramount in Western
philosophy and arguably the most enduring effort to construct a
presupposition free ontology. Nevertheless, using the theory of
encryption of power, we can discover that the result of his effort
is a sophisticated perpetuation of a kind of knowing and of doing
that alienates the possibility of any kind of politics as a
commonality of differences. This book connects the theory of
encryption of power with an array of ground-breaking philosophical
and scientific traditions of the last hundred years in order to
perforate and depose Heidegger´s metaphysics, through his
construction of the ready-to-hand. Through a hypothetical language
game, based on Wittgenstein´s “language games” (The “X”
game of language) this book decrypts Heidegger´s construction of
Being while also decrypting and empowering the Wittgensteinian
philosophy of language along with it. The idea of decryption
demonstrates that, through particular forms of language use and
philosophy, the world as we know it is encrypted; forms of
resistance and life are covered over by a surface of control and
determination that leads to economic and political forms like
capitalism, fascism and liberalism. Decryption is a way of
unconcealing what has been concealed. By staging this encounter,
Sanin-Restrepo brings the insights of decolonial theory to bear on
the main body of Western philosophy and directly on Heidegger
himself.
