ABSTRACT

Throughout his career, Heidegger is concerned with the ways the human being and beings in general emerge as the beings that they are in connection to Being. In other words, Heidegger is concerned with the ontico-ontological difference binding beings and Being but also with the hermeneutic process that allows the participation of the human being in this relation. Human beings, by participating in the unfolding of beings, receive these beings in interpretation. Central to this process is a particular attitude that Heidegger calls (Seinlassen) and is translated as letting-be. By means of reinscription of phenomenology and Kantian transcendental imagination, Heidegger succeeds in presenting Seinlassen as a basic element of his formulation of phenomenology and his theorization of nearness, synthesis and time. Finally, Seinlassen becomes that which allows the human being to participate in the formation of reality, whilst it assumes an intense languaging nature. This results to the neglect of other aspects that participate in the unfolding of beings, namely, spatiality, materiality, embodiment and technology.
