Abstract
Martin Heidegger is not yet another historic-philosophical point of reference in Polo’s thought, but the philosopher who has helped him determie his own historic revelance in a more clear fashion. Even though Polo has dialogued philosophically wiwth most of the well-known philosophers, his thought is more related to four big thinkers: Aristotle, Aquinas, Hegel, and Heidegger. As regards the latter, Polo did not only lend him special consideration to his works, as is clear from his ample commentaries to the Introduction of Being and Time and the numerous alusions to his thought, but the existence of a positive similarities on the issues and approaches of both philosophers, also accompanied by deep disagreements, specially on their respective methods. The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we deal with the similitudes , both on issues and approaches ; then we deal with the radical disagreements . We finish with a summary of the role played by Heidegger in Polo’s philosophy
