520 | |a At the end of "The Age of the World Picture," Heidegger offers a brief sentence, "Keiner stirbt für blosse Werte" (No one dies for mere values.). This sentence underscores one of the central themes of Heidegger's later essays, the nihilism that results from living in an economy of value. This way of life is lived by a certain kind of human being, one who treats a culture's embedded habits and practices as value systems to be exploited and exhausted. A more difficult problem presents itself: what is it like to be a person who has mastered this economy of value? This paper sets out to examine this question, and to propose another perspective: no one dies for mere values, but how does Heidegger's rendition of the Übermensch manage to live? How does one live for mere values? I argue that Heidegger's technological examples (e.g., the hydroelectric plant) have two salient features: each is "infectious" and "exhaustible," features that are not consonant with the appropriative use of our habits and practices. I will focus on the condition Heidegger describes, and the person who makes this condition manifest, and conclude with a proposal for a "Nietzschean corrective." | ||
