Heidegger's leaps since his resumption of classical Greek thought in view of the construction of a new Principle for the approach to Being

Abstract

Heidegger's energetic critique of modern Metaphysics, which founds the possibility of determining Being in Subjectivity, led him to begin his investigation of the meaning of Being by turning to Greek Philosophy. With Aristotle, Heidegger sought a conceptual ground to demonstrate in the facticity of existing, rather than in Consciousness, the foundation of the comprehensiveness at all, and with Plato, the Philosopher sought a starting point founded to legitimize a positive investigation of non-Being - here his intention was precisely to grant a lineage to the problematic of Nothingness and Difference. We propose, in this Essay, to indicate a demarcation, established in his Main Works, of the capital leaps of his investigative path, situated between the so-called first and second Heidegger, in view of an opening of a way out of Metaphysics and its presentation of a new Principle to approach to Being, with the aspect of Event – the figure of the interweaving of Being and Time outside the perspective of the Entity.
