The field of International Relations (IR) although in many quarters still immersed in the epistemological trenches surrounding the fourth debate between positivism and post-positivism saw the emergence of a renewed interest and debate about the state and rigour of 'our' ontological assumptions. One currently very prominent contribution to this emerging or re-emerging interest in ontological questions can be found in the Critical Realist (CR) approach.

Zambrano en diálogo con Nietzsche -- Zambrano en diálogo con Heidegger -- Zambrano en diálogo con otros

Heidegger's lifelong project of exposing and deconstructing the presuppositions governing the history of metaphysics begins with the conception of temporality outlined in Being and Time, a work which Heidegger never completed. In Thinking in the Light of Time, de Boer not only traces the notion of temporality developed in Being and Time, but goes beyond the published portion of that work to offer a reconstruction of its pivotal third division based on a systematic interpretation of other works, many of which have only recently been published. Emphasizing the continuity between Heidegger's early and later thought, de Boer provides a systematic interpretation of Heidegger's work as a whole. --From publisher's description

Explores Martin Heidegger's philosophical stance with regard to National Socialism, his support of the ideology through the early 1930s, only to see its defeat in 1934, with its transition from an "emerging" totalitarianism of the folk-ish revolution to the hierarchical "towering" totalitarianism of Hitler's state in both ideology & domestic policy. Even then, he did not accept what had happened until 1935. With this realization, he became uncertain about his own judgment as to the institutional source of truth. He turned increasingly, though seemingly without conscious intent, toward an epistemology leading to a secularized structure in which the revelation of truth was taken over by "Being." His "unconcealment of Being" can perhaps today serve as an antidote to blind belief in either the Almighty or the Western "Subject" obsessed with identifying itself. Considered in this light is whether the West will ever understand that its intolerant "God-given" values may prevent it from seeing as an acceptable alternative the "equally God-given" values of Islam.
