Abstract

The paper discusses concepts of practical philosophy of Aristotle and its appropriation for Heidegger in the 1920’s. To achieve that task, the author deals with Heidegger’s interpretation of the concept of whole and its relation with the notion of part, intending to characterize the concrete situation as the hermeneutic ground for relations of understanding. Also, it will be developed the research for the inner connection of the concepts which refer to praxis in Aristotle, stressing the importance of phronesis in its ontological retrieval for Heidegger. The article ends indicating the interpretative strategies of some recent interpreters of the Heideggerian reception of Aristotle.
