Abstract

The article's theme limits its research scope to the work Ontology: Hermeneutics of Facticity, by Heidegger. The aim is to indicate how the philosopher operates his hermeneutic phenomenology to develop a science originating from the fact of life, as this concerns facticity in its most immediate givenness. A hermeneutic phenomenology of factical life is an investigation that seeks the immediate meaning of facticity. Heidegger has evidence that arriving at such a determination of factical life depends on addressing life itself in its everyday constitution, the today of our time; thus, depending on dealing with the interpretations consolidated in today and which condition the effort of factical life to understand oneself. This article reviews these contexts and analyzes them.
