Kantbook Of Heidegger And The Problem Of Finitude

Kant and the problem of metaphysics is not only the intrinsicdevelopment of Heidegger's own thought, but also a clear expression ofhis destruction of the history in which being sinks into oblivion. In orderto ask after Being it self, Heidegger lays down a being rooted in finitude,which projects at Being. Our research will be planned as follows : first, to locate thekantbook , what I want to ask is how being and time is related to critiqueof pure reason. After Heidegger has transformed the basic problem ofphilosophy into the problem of being, what should be manifested is howthe problem of being holds a critique and a kind of fundamental ontologytogether. The key lies in the difference and connection between such twoterms: Zeitlichkeit and Temporalitaet. Although the two terms denotetime, but the former is referred to temporality related to essents, but thelatter means its own temporality of being. Such difference is just themanifestation of the ontologic difference ,which at the same time is thefree-space of Heidegger's thought. And the unity of Ｚｅｉｔｌｉｃｈｋｅｉｔ　and　Ｔｅｍｐｏｒａｌｉｔａｅｔ　manifests itself as errancy, a s the free space for thatturing in which insistent ek-sistence adroitly forgets and mistakes itselfconstantly anew, the ontological difference , as the locale involved into 36the ontological difference, as the finitude.　 We think that finitude constitutes the core of the kantbook. Just asthe kantbook consists of four parts, we will develop our research throughfour stages. Firstly, we should reveal the relation of finitude to the Critique asthe laying of the foundation of metaphysics .The Critique differentiatesbetween two kinds of knowledge :ontic kownledge and ontologicalknowledge, which presupposes finitude. Kant definited the problematic ofontology as the problem of possibility insofar as the pure syntheticjudgment. So the critique trys to lay the foundation of metaphysics , bytransforming metaphysica generalis into ontology. Secondly, we are concerned with the relation of transcendentalimagination. The Kantian laying of foundation begins with the isolationof intuition and understanding , which presupposes finitude. Far frominfinite intuition which directly produce its object, finite intuition canonly project his object , which needs transcendental imagination to givean exposition of the unity of pure intuition and pure understanding. Thirdly, the relation of temporality to finitude is focused on.Heidegger asserts that imagination itself is primordial time, and accordingto the unity of the three modes of synthesis, time temporalizes itself outof the future. Primordial time as pure affection constitutes the essence ofthe subjectivity. 37Lastly, all discovered above can be comprehended in finitude asDasein. Four famous kantian questions reveal that man is finite , only inwhich can we find the ground of the kantbook viewed as a dialogue.Because the ground is always inclined to conceal itself , so an explanationof kantbook can never lead to a definite result, we can only be contentwith constant striving to prcure the locale we has been thrown into,through authentically posing the problem. So my thesis is named as :kantbook of Heidegger and the problem of finitude.
