Abstract
Chapter 2 is the most theoretical of all the chapters, where I read Heidegger's existentialism as a way to discuss disability as a way of life. I begin discussing the concepts of care and the ontological difference in further detail than the past chapter. Then I move on to time and space, which are different in our everyday experience than as measured objects. Next, I outline Heidegger's opposition to Descartes' subjectivity, as knowing existence. I then discuss Heidegger on the body and modes of intersectional existence. I end the chapter with a threefold division of existence–coexistence–subjectivity, to combine his work with the sociology of disability. I end by discussing the themes of the next two chapters.
