Abstract

SUDDICK, Kitty Maria et al. Honouring the opening: Unfolding the rich ground between the philosophical thinking of Martin Heidegger and practice-based empirical work. Indo-Pac. j. phenomenol. (Online) [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.1, pp.1-11. ISSN 1445-7377.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/20797222.2021.1953762.

The aim of this article is to bring philosophical thinking closer to practice-based empirical work. Using Martin Heidegger's philosophy, it offers a bridge between these two worlds, attempting to provide philosophical depth to the findings of a hermeneutic phenomenological study. This process unfolded through the appearance of three intertwined, potential, meaningful modes of being in the lifeworld: space as a condition for being and being for worlding the world; temporal and spatial self-being, the existence of multiple selves in time and space; and suffering and thriving as modes of being. The article extends the dialogue and concludes with key reflections and insight for research practice.

Keywords : authenticity; being-in-the-world; dwelling; falling; stroke; thrownness.
