Subject: Heideggerian Realism?


The link back to Duns Scotus is intriguing, I think. Might we be able to
characterize Heidegger's philosophy as a Realist philosophy (as opposed to a
Nominalist philosophy) -- in the sense of Scotus' Scholastic Realism (not at
all necessarily related to modern philosophical "realism," empiricism,
etc.). Peirce, interestingly, traces his thinking back to Scotus and the
Scholastic Realists.

Any erudite comments on Heidegger's relationship to the Scholastic Realists?

Best,

Steve C.
