Abstract

This paper discusses the emergence of hermeneutic phenomenology, highlighting the debate surrounding metaphysics in the first decades of the 20th century. It was the set of ideas that Heidegger presented in the 1920s that would provide a response to the promises made by philosophers who announced the resurgence of metaphysics. That is, Heidegger emerged as the central figure who would listen to the voice of those who spoke in metaphysics. To understand the context and meaning of Heidegger’s project, it is necessary to take it in contrast
with Husserlian transcendental phenomenology, as well as interpret the metaphysics resulting from phenomenology as Aristotle’s second path.
