God, Ontology, and the Problem of Being
Abstract
Heidegger stipulated that philosophy as such has no warrant to concern itself with universal humanity and culture. He then called for a reinterpretation of this task from the vantage point that has defined his greatest work, Being and Time. But the investigation of Being did not stop in Being and Time. The great achievement of Heidegger’s earlier philosophy, the profound and elaborate analysis of the ontological structure of human existence, of Dasein, was undertaken only in order to prepare the way for a more direct approach to the problem of Being. Furthermore, as Heidegger delved into the problem of Being the intensification of the presence of God in his works becomes all the more evident. References Clark, Timothy. Martin Heidegger.
