Heidegger e o Esquecimento do Ser: a Retomada da Questão do Ser pelo seu Sentido

Abstract

Routinely, the verb “to be” and its conjugations are used in people's vocabulary. And, apparently, nothing is configured itself as obvious as “to be”, in a way that, the being itself, is constituted as forgotten and abandoned in all the instances of human pragmatic knowledge, including philosophy. So, being becomes more distant and unknow. “Being” remains thoughtless, vague, forgotten and truly understood for no one. Faced with this, Heidegger affirms that the question of the being must be resumed through his fundamental interrogation, not by the traditional metaphysical standards. “Being is…”, in this way philosophy seeked to learn the being, which still is the most forgotten among all the concepts, because, before determining the being substantively, namely, it is necessary to comprehend the sense of “is”, that is spoken about the being. Therefore, the very meaning of being. What is the meaning of being? That is the fundamental question that must be raised to investigate and reach the being itself in its truth. The present work lies in this investigation by a study of the thought of Martin Heidegger.
