HEIDEGGERIAN INTERPRETATION TO THE KANTIAN PERSPECTIVE ON THE KNOWLEDGE. THE ISSUE OF METAPHYSICS

Summary/Abstract: This article advances a few considerations on the Heideggerian ontological interpretation of Immanuel Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason. The famous philosopher initiated a constructive dialogue with Kant’s work because he needed to clarify and explain his own philosophical conception. From the very beginning in conflict with exclusively epistemological neo-Kantian approaches, Martin Heidegger declares his intention of understanding Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason as a “foundation for metaphysics” (understood as a “theory of categories, a doctrine of the being of beings”), as an attempt to develop a “fundamental ontology”. It is well known that the question for which Kant seeks a rigorous answer all along his fundamental work on knowledge is: How is metaphysics possible as a science? In this article / study, we focus on Heidegger’s interpretation of the phrase “founding metaphysics as a science”, a level at which one can identify the meaning of the phrases: modern science, classical metaphysics, and “metaphysics of Dasein”.
