The controversy between Heidegger and Habermas hinges on, especially, the comments and interpretations made by various thinkers such as Dallmayr, Bartky, Kompridis, Kolb, Gabardi and others. Most of these comments are related to the problematic views of both philosophers which have arisen from their uncompleted and complicated but also controversial thoughts on the same issue. This article is founded on the reasons of differentiations of their views on the account of meaning such that while Heidegger prevails original conditions of meaning and intelligibility as world-disclosure, as Habermas prevails validity thesis as structuring intersubjectivity in language. The article assumes that establishing the relations among some fundamental concepts as world-disclosure, power of language as disclosing a world, meaning and validity may help to understand the crucial points which these debates hing on

Anahtar Kelimeler

World-Disclosure, Forgetfullness of Being (Seinsverlossenheit), Intersubjectivity, Foundationalism, Validity (Geltung), Communicative Rationality.

HEIDEGGER VE HABERMAS’I BULUŞTURAN BİR TARTIŞMA: DÜNYA-AÇIKLIĞI YA DA İLETİŞİMSEL USSALLIK OLARAK HAKİKAT SORUNU

Öz

Heidegger ve Habermas arasındaki tartışma, özellikle, Dallmayr, Bartky, Kompridis, Kolb, Gabardi ve diğer düşünürlerin yorum ve açımlamalarına dayanmaktadır. Bu yorumların çoğu, özünde, her iki düşünürün aynı konu hakkında tamamlanmamış ve karmaşık olmakla birlikte eleştirel de olan düşüncelerinden kaynaklanmaktadır. Bu çalışma, her iki düşünürün görüş farklılıklarına neden olan yaklaşımlarını, Heidegger’de dünya-açıklığının anlam ve anlaşılabilirliğin kökensel koşulu olarak öncelenmesi, Habermas’ta ise bu önceliğin, öznelerarasılığın dilde yapılanması olarak geçerlilik savlarına tanınmasında temellendirmektedir. Çalışmanın temel savını, dünya-açıklığı, dilin dünya açan gücü, anlam, geçerlilik ve iletişimin ussallığı gibi bazı temel kavramlar arasındaki ilişkinin irdelenmesi oluşturmaktadır

Anahtar Kelimeler

Dünya-Açıklığı, Varlığın Unutulmuşluğu (Seinsverlossenheit), Öznelerarasılık, Temellendiricilik, Geçerlilik (Geltung), İletişimsel Ussallık
