Heidegger and the transformation of phenomenology: The need for a prior science for the elaboration of the philosophical question

Abstract

Being and Time, Heidegger's magnum opus, is often considered a work without history. Recent studies and the publication of Heidegger's works, lessons and conferences from the period between 1915, when Heidegger's habilitation thesis was published, and 1927, when Being and Time was published, have refuted this idea that Heidegger himself reinforced it through silence. These works published posthumously around this first decade of the 21st century expose the genesis of the ideas that would later give rise to Being and Time and what Heidegger's thought owes to the influence of Husserl, as well as showing how the latter's phenomenology is was distancing Heideggerian existential phenomenology. Among those texts that have only now seen the light, we highlight the 1924 conference «The Concept of Time» since it exposes the break in Heidegger's thought with Husserlian phenomenology and the separation between theology and philosophy.
