The goal of the present module is to provide a systematic introduction to the fundamental concepts and questions of Being and Time—with a special focus upon what Heidegger calls “metaphysics of Dasein.” In particular, the conceptual apparatus developed in Being and Time will be interpreted as a form of transcendental philosophy, and the very notion of Dasein as a re-elaboration of the idea of transcendental subject. We will first lay out the more general coordinates of the project pursued by Heidegger in Being and Time, then the main elements of Dasein’s structure will be analyzed and discussed. Accordingly, in the present module attention will be given mostly to the first session of the book, while the second will be referred to only to the extent that it can help us better understand the overall ambition of Heidegger’s philosophy in the 20s, which mainly consists in offering a new foundation for metaphysics. The module is meant to be an opinionated introduction to Being and Time, so that no previous knowledge is required.

N.B. Even though Being and Time will represent the main focus of our module, references will be also made to Heidegger’s lectures from the 20s so as to have a more clear and broader perspective on what is at stake.
