On the critical component of the hermeneutic ontology. Reflections on the analytics of the historizing of 'Dasein'

Abstract

The critics against Martin Heidegger for his supposed suprahistoricism or his empirical uprooting of his fundamental ontology have been abundant and of various types. The present article aims to confront these critics with a thorough study of the analytics of the historizing of Dasein, given that the author finds in it exactly the theoretical basis of a philosophy aware of the insurmountable boundaries of the historical existence and aware of the way in which the empirical reality articulates meaning, value, patterns of behaviour, narratives… and in definite, a sense. In this manner, we find in the analytics of the historizing of Dasein the theoretical flooring in which the ontology of the present project should be thought of. In favour of the second thesis, some reflections are developed regarding the specifics of our contemporary reality searching to measure the scope of the heideggerian thesis. What this article situates finally is the existence of a inherent critical component of the heideggerian philosophy from which it can be understood without mysticism the idea of Destiny.
