Abstract

My dissertation relates recently published lectures from Heidegger's Marburg period to the problem of the "turn," i.e., the radical change that seems to occur in Heidegger's work shortly after the publication of Being and Time. I show that the usual formulations of the turn are imprecise, since they fail to address the actual methodological changes manifest in Heidegger's work during the period in question. Thus, in the dissertation I demonstrate, through a close interpretive analysis of portions of The Metaphysical Foundations of Logic and Basic Problems of Phenomenology as well as the essay "On the Essence of Truth," the character of the changes in Heidegger's work as well as their basis in Heidegger's early concept of metaphysics. Heidegger's investigations into the structure of metaphysics, in the 1928 lectures, lead him to characterize the course of his own early work in terms of the relationship between the two parts of metaphysics, ontology and what he calls "metontology" . The fulfillment of the ontological project leads to its overturning and leads to a new basis of inquiry into the origin of metaphysics, namely, metontology. I explain in the dissertation how the conception of metontology leads to an adequate characterization of the significance of the turn
