Martin Heidegger on Descartes - Dictionary of Arguments
Gadamer I 274 Heidegger's proof that in the concept of spirit in Hegel and of consciousness in Descartes, the Greek ontology of substance prevails, which interprets being as being present and in the present (... ) certainly goes beyond the self-understanding of modern metaphysics, but not arbitrarily, but from an "intention" (>Seinsfrage) that actually makes this tradition understandable by revealing the ontological premises of the concept of subjectivity. Understanding/Heidegger: So it is not at all a matter of securing oneself against the tradition that raises its voice from the text, but on the contrary, to keep away what can prevent one from understanding it from the point of view of its content. It is the obscure prejudices, whose dominion makes us deaf to the thing that speaks in tradition. Kant/Heidegger: Conversely, Heidegger discovers in Kant's critique of "dogmatic" metaphysics the idea of a metaphysics of finiteness, against which his own ontological design has to prove itself. >Understanding/Heidegger._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
