Abstract

After Being and Time, Heidegger presents the problem of metontology and nature as beings as a whole can’t be considered in environing world unlike the nature in Being and Time. How can we understand the connection between the fundamental ontology and metontology? If we presuppose nature as beings as a whole, which is apart from the world, does it mean that we accept a concept which is not examined philosophically? In this paper, by focusing on the transcendence and rewriting it as “Dasein overcomes the nature and leaps to the world”, I tried to interpret nature as beings as a whole in confrontation with the world. The world and nature are formed as complementary, and nature is not totally separated from the world. Although in our average everydayness we can’t be aware of nature, we can find such nature in anxiety and boredom as fundamental mood, and we realize that our world has been obtained from it. As this motif continues in The Self-assertion of the German University and In The Origin of the Work of Art, we can say that it is not limited in the metaphysical term of Heidegger but is leitmotif of Heidegger’s philosophy.
