ABSTRACT
As early as 1915, Martin Heidegger was immersed in a discussion of the anatomy of historical methodology. This historiographical interest precedes his turn to ontology and the temporal structure of human existence, and he had yet to turn his attention to Husserl's lectures on internal time consciousness, which he edited in 1928. The consequence of the contiguity of space and time culminated in what qualifies as a temporal ecology. In particular, the manner in which the temporal dwelling of Dasein is incarnated in the disposition and mood of Care has obvious parallels in ecofeminism. The mood or state of mind which is most delineated in Being and Time is anxiety. Heidegger has transformed this common feeling into the primordial mood that attunes us to the appropriation of possibilities. To identify the true worth of human existence, Heidegger relies on his exposition of the real substance of Dasein in Being and Time.
