ABSTRACT: Topology or topography is a mode of philosophical thinking that combines elements of transcendental and hermeneutic approaches. It is anti-reductionist and relationalist in its ontology\, and draws heavily\, if sometimes indirectly\, on ideas of situation\, locality\, and place. Such a topology is present in Heidegger and\, though less explicitly\, in Hegel. Such a topology is also evident in many other recent and contemporary post-Kantian thinkers in addition to Kant himself. This talk will explore the elements of such a topology with particular reference to the understanding of the self\, and especially in regard to the way such a topology is articulated through the mutual inter-relation between self\, other\, and thing. Heidegger will loom large in this discussion\, along with several other thinkers\, but Hegel will also have a role to play. The primary emphasis\, however\, will be on gaining further insight into the idea of topology itself\, along with the ideas it encompasses and to which it relates.
