Conscience, its history and 'Being and Time': on selfhood, autonomy and an experiment with norms
Conscience, its history and 'Being and Time': on selfhood, autonomy and an experiment with norms
One of the most puzzling elements in Being and Time’s notoriously difficult exploration of authenticity is its discussion of conscience. I will present here a reading of that discussion informed by two hypotheses. The first is that we can learn something about Heidegger’s discussion of conscience by considering the history of that notion. The second hypothesis is that Heideggerian authenticity requires what one might call ‘the owning of norms’. Steven Galt Crowell and Rebecca Kukla have argued in their different ways in favour of this second hypothesis and I will explore here two interpretations of it of my own.

Abstract
One of the most puzzling elements in Being and Time’s notoriously difficult exploration of authenticity is its discussion of conscience. I will present here a reading of that discussion informed by two hypotheses. The first is that we can learn something about Heidegger’s discussion of conscience by considering the history of that notion. The second hypothesis is that Heideggerian authenticity requires what one might call ‘the owning of norms’. Steven Galt Crowell and Rebecca Kukla have argued in their different ways in favour of this second hypothesis and I will explore here two interpretations of it of my own.
