Abstract
ZARAZUA, Diego Martínez. What does philosophizing mean? Interpretation on the object and condition of Martin Heidegger’s ontology. Estud.filos [online]. 2020, n.61, pp.71-90. ISSN 0121-3628. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.ef.n61a06.
Martin Heidegger’s influence over the contemporary philosophical landscape is indisputable. However, it is not always clear what the point is in his understanding of philosophy as ontology, namely, as a question about the being. In order to clarify this, and mostly by using a vocabulary different from Heidegger’s, in this paper I offer my interpretation of his philosophy as a non-positive form of ontological investigation. That is to say, as a question about the being that rejects any attempt of an answer. In order to achieve this goal, I consider two structural aspects of Heidegger’s thinking: its object (the being of entities), and its condition (that there is a thing and that such a thing fails in some way).
Keywords : Heidegger; ontological difference; being; entity; concealing; ontology; phenomenology.
