Appropriating Heidegger’s Philosophy Of Dwelling In The Cordillera's Concept Of Ancestral Domain

Abstract

Culture, in its broadest definition, refers to the entirety of human thoughts, behaviors, and the products of human activities that prompts one to consider within the context of the "hermeneutic turn." This study's primary objective was to provide light on Martin Heidegger's concept of dwelling and to investigate the ways in which it may be appropriated within the Cordillera culture mentality of ancestral domain. The research was carried out utilizing three distinct methodologies: the descriptive qualitative method, the cultural phenomenological method, and the hermeneutical method. These three methodological techniques were utilized in order to conduct the analysis on the data that was provided. A structure of Dasein that is ontico-ontological is the concept of dwelling that was developed by Martin Heidegger. When it comes to existing in the world, Dasein's method of being is known as dwelling. The collecting of the four-fold element of earth, sky, human people, and a sense of spiritual reverence, which collectively represent higher realities, is a necessary step in the process. Because it both supports and reflects a person's and a group's specific manner of "being-in-the-world," the physical environment as well as the cultural dimensions is an extremely important factor. Ancestral domain as a certain embodied grasp of the world, a certain orientation that reveals qualities of a culture mentality, is one of the characteristics that constitutes the built environment. This releasing, sparing, and preserving mentality that is associated with dwelling is what makes it necessary to have an ethical obligation.
