The author of this paper advances the hypothesis that from a young age, Martin Heidegger sought to counter traditional philosophy by developing a philosophy that was an expression of factical life. For Heidegger, however, the philosophy that arises from the factical experience of life, by adopting a theoretical-cognitive approach, cannot think the truth of being that determines life. The phenomenological interpretation of Aristotle's thought allows Heidegger to pave the way for a non-theoretical understanding of life, provoking, as Gadamer notes, "a real revolution". From such an interpretation, Heidegger develops a hermeneutics of facticity that not only determines the existential analytics of Being and Time but makes it possible to think of the end of philosophy, identified tout court with metaphysics of Platonic origin and representing for Heidegger the beginning of thought. Against the Heideggerian interpretation of existence as a factical experience of life, the paper recalls the concept of existence and philosophy that refers back to the theme of moral experience.

Abstract
The author of this paper advances the hypothesis that from a young age, Martin Heidegger sought to counter traditional philosophy by developing a philosophy that was an expression of factical life. For Heidegger, however, the philosophy that arises from the factical experience of life, by adopting a theoretical-cognitive approach, cannot think the truth of being that determines life. The phenomenological interpretation of Aristotle's thought allows Heidegger to pave the way for a non-theoretical understanding of life, provoking, as Gadamer notes, "a real revolution". From such an interpretation, Heidegger develops a hermeneutics of facticity that not only determines the existential analytics of Being and Time but makes it possible to think of the end of philosophy, identified tout court with metaphysics of Platonic origin and representing for Heidegger the beginning of thought. Against the Heideggerian interpretation of existence as a factical experience of life, the paper recalls the concept of existence and philosophy that refers back to the theme of moral experience.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
