Unterschied: sobre a crítica de Heidegger à concepção indiferenciada de natureza

Abstract

The relationship between nature and history is of paramount importance in the development of Heidegger's thought. The philosopher reserved a different way of interrogating nature in relation to the way of interrogating the historical being-there. In fact, the author of Being and Time captured a fundamental aspect with regard to the consequences of the way nature is considered in our time. Considering that Heidegger affirmed that "nature is an entity that meets within the world and that can be discovered, following different paths and degrees", his indication that the current (hegemonic) conception of nature is characterized by being "undifferentiated" proves to be extremely relevant to the understanding of the topic in focus. In this sense, the present work aims to discuss the Heideggerian critique of the undifferentiated conception of nature from the concept of unterschied and the dialogue with its critics, seeking to explain the philosopher's intention of no longer thinking about the relationship between nature and history separately, but in its unity in the ontological understanding, which would occur each time according to the modalities from which the historical being-there appropriates its having-been, its traditionally inherited possibility-of-existence.
