Überwindung

Überwindung, dépassement, superação, overcoming, superación, Über-windung, super-ação

To overcome means “to dispose of”-not in the sense of’“getting rid of,” but rather in the sense of having something “at your disposal,” being able to deal freely with it. “To overcome does not mean ‘to push away,’” Heidegger explains, “but rather ‘to take into a new disposition’” (GA9:63/51). In this new disposition, that which is overcome “will no longer have any power to define” us (GA6T2:330/N4 223), but it will continue to inform our understanding of ourselves and our circumstances.

Heidegger’s concept of overcoming is closely related to Hegel’s notion of sublation (Aufhebung), and Heidegger explicitly notes the parallel. For Heidegger, overcoming (as with sublating for Hegel) signifies attaining a freedom from previous constraints on the way we understand ourselves, the world around us, and our place in that world. When these limitations are surmounted, the overcoming consists in our simultaneously superseding and retaining the prior understanding. Drawing on Hegel, Heidegger explains that the “progress” of the spirit that actualizes itself in history carries within it a “principle of exclusion.” This exclusion however does not lead to the removal of what is excluded, but rather to its overcoming. The freedom of spirit is characterized by such a making-oneself-free that overcomes and at the same time continues to bear (what is overcome). (SZ 434) (CHL)
