Translation of "Ontic" in German

They don't have any ontic cloud of their own.

And this brings us to pre-fault aggressivity, to pre-moral “ontic” fault.

Above all this unifies them against approaches of social science that always remain on the ontic level.

For instance, Boyle's law relates temperature, pressure, and volume of an ideal gas (epistemic), but this was later reduced to laws of statistical mechanics via average kinetic energy of colliding molecules composing the gas (ontic).

But does the public space, as we have defined it following Lefort, not have a special relationship - a relationship that may not be completely reduced to the ontic level of other spaces - to the ontological level of space/time?

At the ontic level, time does not exist, but rather only times, i. e. spatial symbolic representations of temporal processes, for example history.

This “ontic” fault has been lost in very much of enlightened conscience, but has not disappeard from the world’s disorder.

The latter, on the other hand, are located at the ontic level that Massey refers to, for example, when she investigates into a certain "politics of location".

The secession of an empty place from the state, the separation of the spheres of power of law and knowledge, the emergence of an autonomous sphere of the civil society, and finally of the public sphere in which the legitimatory foundations of society, having lost their transcendental status, must be renegotiated again and again - all this presupposes the instance of a fundamental division of democratic society, a fundamental conflictual composedness that is located at the ontological and not at the ontic level.

This thought leads me to the hypothesis that the actual, secret bugbear that the concept of the heterotopia seeks to oppose is not the ontological category of the "same" or the "inside", but rather the ontic counter-concept of a certain rival topos on the inside - namely of public space.

And it is no longer constitutive as it has been broken down from an ontological category (time/space) to an ontic category (spaces).

Consideration must be given, finally, to the tendency to make use of a methodology of the conflict of values or of goods in the study of various ethical problems, as well as to the role played by references to the ontic or pre-moral level.(23) This leads to a reductionistic treatment of some theoretical and practical problems, such as the relationship between freedom and truth, conscience and law, fundamental option and concrete choices, which are incapable of positive resolution due to the inconsistencies in the position taken by the author.

As a principle of reactivation (of space by time), the public sphere rather belongs to the ontological level than the ontic level of social sediments.

If space does not exist in the strict, ontological sense, this is the very reason why spaces may exist at the ontic level.

The first point to be kept in mind is that for Heidegger "the essence of materialism is concealed in the essence of technology" (p.337) and that for the thinking of the essence of technology - a thinking that is located in the truth of being -, the economic dimension is irrelevant, perhaps too 'ontic'.

Since “ontic” guilt is not an invention of decadent morality, but rather a state (pre-conscious), if ‘guilt’ is superficially extinguished, it “moves on as if by twists and turns”: fault changes its own phenomenal forms and disguises itself in a monstrous manner.

The acting subject would indeed be responsible for attaining the values pursued, but in two ways: the values or goods involved in a human act would be, from one viewpoint, of the moral order (in relation to properly moral values, such as love of God and neighbour, justice, etc.) and, from another viewpoint, of the pre-moral order, which some term non-moral, physical or ontic (in relation to the advantages and disadvantages accruing both to the agent and to all other persons possibly involved, such as, for example, health or its endangerment, physical integrity, life, death, loss of material goods, etc.).
