Summary
Heidegger has often been accused of indifference to the good, for reasons seemingly supported by the texts.1 Rarely does Heidegger situate ontology on explicitly ethical terrain, and when he does – most famously, perhaps, in work on Aristotle’s ethics and politics2 – he appears to give ethical and moral issues an ontological makeover, leaving his readers to wonder whether he means to defend or to reject ethical categories.
