Martin Heidegger

The soul as the substance of a personality: Phenomenological pro et contra

Introduction. The article reveals some methodological aspects of the phenomenological discussion of the personal subject. The dispute is caused by realistic tendencies in phenomenology, according to which the totality of properties of a thing allows us to assert the existence of their ontological basis, which is contained in the essence of the thing. In the case of a human being, such ontological foundation is the soul, which determines the basic characteristics of the personality that exist prior to any constitution. Theoretical analysis.

The Critics of Metaphisical Understanding of Being In Fundamental Ontology of Martin Heidegger

The article deals with the problem of relation between metaphysical and onto-hermeneutical understanding of being in fundamental ontology of Martin Heidegger. The author demonstrates that critical investigation of metaphysical theses about being constitutes the main problems of fundamental ontology. The result of Heideggers investigation was a new form of posing a question about relation between being and truth in the context of explication of ontological problematic of presence (Dasein).
