Example text

Heidegger’s response in the BT era involves maintaining the thesis that transcendental conditions are conditions for the possibility of meaning, while denying the theses that subjectivity has no place in the unity of transcendental conditions and that the space of meaning is the ideality of validity. 16 By distinguishing between formal and transcendental logic, Kant recognizes a realm of enquiry that is distinct from both the sensible (the purview of empiricism) and the supersensible (the purview of metaphysics) as a transcendental-logical realm of pure meaning.

During this time Heidegger develops the hermeneutical– ontological–phenomenological–transcendental project of BT. In 1916 Heidegger thus has not developed the philosophical perspective that allows him to ground objectivity and logic in the active life of the ’subject’. The project of ‘making logic philosophical again’ as a ‘metaphysics of truth’ begun in the Schluß finally emerges, after the turn to hermeneutical phenomenology, as part of a larger deconstruction of epistemology in which Heidegger argues that knowledge is a secondary and derivative comportment or ‘mode of being’ for Dasein.

To use a tool is to understand its practical significance, which is at the same time to project the possibilities that entity exhibits. A hammer first shows itself pre-thematically, and so it is first intelligible as something that one may simply pick up and use to drive or remove nails, and this practical intelligibility is then structured by reference to the structure of Dasein’s activity – Dasein’s reasons, motivations, methods, goals, strategies, concerns, Logic and Metaphysics 41 etc. –and to the larger structure of the world that activity articulates in part (1927b:¶15).
