Abstract: Analytic interpretations of philosophical texts typically aim to identify their key claims and analyze logical relations among these claims. This technique seems universally applicable. Filippo Casati follows this technique when he argues, in Heidegger and the Contradiction of Being , that Heidegger is committed to contradictory claims about Being, but that this should not be judged a flaw because paraconsistent logical systems can allow for contradictions. However, Heidegger thinks that propositions and all types of formal logic depend on a non-propositional “disclosedness.” He adopts various strategies to indicate this phenomenon while warning us against taking his thought as a set of propositions. Mainstream analytic thinking is thus intrinsically at odds with Heidegger’s thinking. This conflict may lead us to reflect on the nature of truth and philosophy.
