FORMATION AND EROS

Keywords: Alterity. Byung-Chul Han. Eros. Formation (Bildung). Gadamer.

Abstract

This paper aims to present the concept of alterity and its implications both in Gadamer’s perspective, especially, regarding the concept of formation and in Han’s thought bearing in mind the concept of Eros and the dichotomy between positivity/negativity, a central theme in “The Agony of Eros”. Based on the analysis of the concepts of alterity, it will be possible to recognize how and to what extent they are convergent and complementary, but also distinct, thoughts. That’s the reason why this article will be divided into two parts. The first one will focus on showing the context in which alterity appears in “Truth and Method” (TM), related to the concept of formation, memory, and sciences of the spirit. The second part presents alterity as the pole of negativity, of the difference, of the pain inherent to our human experience. According to Han, alterity as one of the manifestations of negativity has been slyly annihilated by the massive use of new communication technologies. After going through the two parts, it will be possible for us to see the relations between the approaches of the two authors, who share as a common horizon Heidegger's and Hegel's thought.
