Heidegger’s axiological crisis and the nihilism

Abstract

This essay analyse Heidegger’s concept of Nihilism and his hermeneutic of the values. My point of departure is his critique of Kant’s phenomenology and his rejection of Nietzsche’s hermeneutic. Finally I study the significance of his «Myth of Being» and his philosophical answer to both authors. Also I evaluate the consequences of his «Ontology of Being» for ethics and politics.
