Consonance or distance? On Heidegger's confrontation with Husserl pertaining the phenomenological correlation's a priori

Abstract

This paper reflects on the very nature of the confrontation between Husserl and Heidegger and, therefore, between transcendental phenomenology and hermeutics of facticity. In
the first place, we expose the young Heidegger's theory of expression and meaning according to the volumes 56/57, 58 and 59 of
its complete works (Gesamtausgabe). Dealing with the heideggerian theory of expression and meaning will lead us to the heideggerian understanding of the correlation's a priori. In contrast to Heidegger's position, we will point 23 at an understanding of the correlation's a priori proper to transcendental phenomenology. We will then come to a clear formulation of what

we consider a key to the understanding of the confrontation we are dealing with: the difference in the way the philosophical subject (by Husserl and by Heidegger) introduces itself or interleaves within the phenomenological fact of the correlation's a priori. The difference concerning these two ways of interleaving depicts the key of such a confrontation as an architectonical one, thus not entirely reducible in purely phenomenological terms.
