Abstract

This paper is dedicated to the substantiation of the thesis that the concept of birth has to be the leading one in the postclassical philosophy of interpersonal community . The author works out a project of the philosophy of birth as a concrete metaphysics of being-with-one-another. The project is developed on the basis of the interpretation of Diotima’s teaching on Eros. The divergence between Diotima and Socrates concerning the metaphysic appraisal of birth and death is a systematic ground for the critical discussion of Heidegger’s fundamental ontology, which aims at overcoming the deathcentrism of the analytic of Dasein
