HEIDEGGER: IN THE TIME OF CONFRONTATION

Abstract

The purpose of my text is to trace the emergence of the problem of temporality in Heidegger’s confrontation with the Western philosophical tradi­tion. However, this objective, a task obviously impossible to accomplish within the limits of an article, is only presented in a generic and preliminary way. In the concluding part, the role of Kant’s philosophy is emphasized, especially dur­ing the Marburg lectures and in the constitution of the conceptual framework of “Being and Time”. The confrontation with the philosophical question of time then becomes, by the very logic of its formulation, the position of being questioned by time.

Keywords: Ontology. Modernity. Temporality. Confrontation.
