The fundamental difference between the concept of time in historical science and physics: interpretation of a Heidegger's text

Abstract

This article is scoped to a phenomenological interpretation of the text of the enabling lecture spoken by Martin Heidegger in 1915 at the University of Freiburg. Despite being a text often cited by scholars of Heidegger’s work, little is known about this, and especially what and how some ideas – which will be developed in Being and Time (1927) – are already present in embryo in the enabling lecture. Accordingly, following the signs to the title itself, we intend to show in what sense, one key difference, according to Heidegger, between the concept of time in the history and physics. Important aspect of this interpretation is that they come together with the unpublished translation of significant portions of the text in question.
