Exploring the concept of Augenblick, or "glance of the eye," William McNeill delves into its significance in Heidegger's philosophy, particularly its ties to seeing and theoretical knowledge in Aristotle and Western thought. He highlights how Heidegger's interpretation of Aristotle positions Augenblick at the core of ethical and practical understanding. This encounter shapes Heidegger's critique of the dominance of theoretical knowledge in Western civilization, revealing a complex interplay between ethical knowledge and the temporal nature of lived experience, influenced by the presence of the sensuous.
