The rĂ©alitĂ©-humaine of Henry Corbin
This thesis sets out to correlateâto hyphenate, evenâthe dual and historically disparate personae of Henry Corbin the first French translator of Heidegger, and Henry Corbin, Iranian Islamist and pioneering comparative philosopher. The thesisâ cynosure is a case for the philosophicohistorically contextual reconsideration of Corbinâs infamous translation of Heideggerâs term Dasein as ârĂ©alitĂ©-humaineâ, as the result of the young Corbinâs own profound engagement with Heidegger as informed by the then philosophically avant-garde. A contextual reading of Corbinâs late âBiographical Post-Scriptumâ is enriched by the introduction of a correspondence between Corbin and the Warburg Library (chiefly Gertrud Bing), discovered to lie in the Warburg Library Archive in London, but which to date does not appear in Corbinian literature. The self-proclaimed point, and cause of Corbinâs divergence from Heidegger is examined further. Traces of Corbinâs own professed âdebtâ to Heidegger will be shown to have indeed persisted throughout Corbinâs oeuvre. Close readings of the ontological role accorded to the transcendental imagination by Heidegger (after Kant) in the Kant book, and Heideggerâs
