The mathematical project of nature in the heideggerian philosophy of the Marburg-period (1923-1927)

Abstract

The term “nature” appears as a problematic notion in heidegger’s philosophy prior to the 1930’s. This concept receives various interpretations all along the so-called “Marburg period”, which appear in a disperse and unarticulated manner. Our research focuses on the explicitation of the sense of “nature” that works as a background for the tasks of the ontic sciences of the intra-worldly, i.e. the natural sciences. The goal of this study is to point out –in a work of articulation of disperse treatments- in which sense is the term “nature” used by the natural sciences. Our research will show that the two main meanings in which ontic sciences understand this notion are a) nature as the whole set of that which is before our eyes (Vorhandenheit), and b) nature as ontologic region, unfolded by an mathematical project of the being-constitution of beings.
