In philosophy, receptivity is an ontological, ethical and political category discussed and developed by a range of thinkers including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nikolas Kompridis, Stanley Cavell, and Martin Heidegger. According to Kompridis, who has written extensively about its application to aesthetic, social and political theory, it denotes a mode of attunement or "normative response" to something outside the self, enabling self-transformation, self-decentering and non-instrumental sociopolitical change.
