Abstract

The phase of Being, to which practically all post-Sein und Zeit works of Heidegger belong, is not worked out systematically or gradually, but rather consists of many excursions or invasions into the problem of Being; yet, beyond all the variety of these approaches and the diversity of these problems, the great unique whole of Being can be felt. In order to illuminate and to reveal this basic problem of Heidegger’s post-Sein und Zeit works, the second chapter of this study will consider several characteristic phenomena leading to the problem of Being. By revealing several of the most characteristic features of Heideggerian thinking and by selecting and stressing a few of the most important problems of his philosophy, the disclosure of the problem of Being itself in its diverse aspects will be accomplished.
