The structure of Heideggerian hermeneutics: origins and dimensions

Abstract

This article attempts to identify the dimensions which determine the structure of interpretation in the philosophy of Martin Heidegger: this is what has been called "the structure of Heideggerian hermeneutics", we have attributed four dimensions to this structure : the linguistic dimension or it is the concept of the hermeneutic turn in Heidegger's philosophy, that is to say language as an ontological structure of being; the historical dimension, in particular, its return to the Greek seeds of Western history and modernity; the ethical dimension, where we wonder if there is a possible morality in Heideggerian ontology if we can break the ethical silence of Heidegger's philosophy; and finally the religious dimension, which consists of the Heideggerian approach to the divine and the Sacred and, therefore, what influence can religion exert on the subsequent thinking of Being? Also, what is the historical and philosophical relationship between Western metaphysics and the Judeo-Christian tradition? What Heidegger calls the onto-theological structure of metaphysics.
