Abstract

This article comments globally on the first part of the Natorp-Report (known as “Phenomenological interpretations on Aristotle. Indication of the hermeneutic situation”) prepared by Martin Heidegger in 1922 with the aim of applying for a position as professor of philosophy at the Universities of Marburg and Göttingen. From the point of view of his path of thought, this first part resumes his understanding of the phenomenology of factual life already declined in Freiburg lectures between 1919 and 1922. In his “Introduction” to the subsequent publication of the Natorp-Report manuscript (in 1989 in Dilthey Jahrbuch) after its discovery, Hans-Georg Gadamer entitled it “Heidegger’s youthful ‘theological’ writing”. Why? Because Christian theology moves within concepts that originated in Aristotelian ontology. Heidegger sought in non-scholastic Aristotle what the religious phenomenon of early Christianity was incapable of providing: clarification and determination of a genuine way of doing philosophy. In this writing there is a prologue about his radical proposal: philosophy is a phenomenological hermeneutics of facticity. In it Heidegger outlined his current and projected philosophical interpretations of Aristotle. They are at the service of the history of ontology and logic under the common thread of the hermeneutic situation. In this sense, Heidegger sought to gain a genuine direction of gaze in his original questioning. Considering the density of the Natorp-Report, which falls within the first period of Heidegger’s teaching in Freiburg (1919-1923), I will limit myself to highlighting, firstly, the assumptions of all interpretation within the scope of an ontology of facticity: (1) ; secondly, I will address at times the genesis of the so-called “hermeneutic situation” as an expression of the self (Selbst), and at other times the recovery of past history based on the historic (das Historische) immanent in questioning-research; finally, I will analyze the constitutive structures of factual life: caring; the tendency-to-collapse; the How to having death (2).
