| dc.description.abstract | I am arguing in this thesis for an interpretation of a relational ontology as it is presented in the thought of Jean-Luc Nancy and Raimon Panikkar. This thesis offers an understanding of the meaning of being as it is found in the Heideggerean ontological tradition. My aim is to interpret the implications of the relation as it portrays the everyday as meaningful. I argue that both Nancy and Panikkar offer an understanding of relationality in which the everyday becomes existentially meaningful. In a dialogical analysis between Nancy and Panikkar, I offer two in depth interpretations of a relational ontology that differ in the philosophical understanding of the relationality to broaden the implications of intra-philosophical dialogue. | |
