Heidegger’s thanatology

Abstract

This article was writen to eleborate three teses: First, we have paradox that Heidegger obtained the instant glory with publishing of Being and Time (1927): But in due time it was impossible to understand this book as for its main tenets. It remained untransparent if intepreteur is not ackowledged with Heideggers papers writen from 1922. until 1929. Second thesis: full understanding of Heidegger?s work in any of its parts asks for the look from witihin the whole of its opus beforhand. Closely conected with it one must have in mind Heidegger?s famous turn (Wendung) and its consequences for his pihosophy of the second phase. Third: important issue of Heideggers work as a trial for all Heidegger-interpretation is the sense of authenticity in vast number of interpretation. It is a real philosophocal scandal, first, for we have failed insurching for interpretation of sense oh human existance than not lose a connection with Heideggers main theme: surching for the sense of Being; second, we did not find the interpretation founded in positive valuation of being towards death as ?most authentic? form for Dasein. Closely related to this there is not article that demonstrates sense and significance of relation to death for realization of program of sense of being. Therefore, in the face of such a scandalous condition in the realim of Heidegger intgerpretation, author elaborates the sense of ?the relation toward death? on two ways: first, within the Beong of Time, and second, in the wider context from 1922. until 1929. Formula tha is ?most authentic? for everyday man litteraly could be not understandble within Being and Time, as relevent on the meta-level of philosophical surching for the sense of being. Its understanding become attainable by the aid of the lecture ?What is Metaphysics? (1929). Also, full understanding in its methodological meaning unfolds not on the level of everydayness but on the meta-level of philosophy, and asks for full understanding of the reasons for the turn (Wendung) as a prior and necessary condition that its starting point have had in the very same lecture. At the end of the article author point out that the ultimate aim of whole Heideggers work on the deconstruction of nto-theological tradition of metaphysics to attain truthfull authenticity through the juncture the man and Being in the Event (Ereignis).
