ABSTRACT

All research - and not least that which operates within the range of the central question of Being - is an ontical possibility of Dasein. Dasein’s Being finds its meaning in temporality. But temporality is also the condition which makes historicality possible as a temporal kind of Being which Dasein itself possesses, regardless of whether or how Dasein is an entity ‘in time’. Historicality, as a determinate character, is prior to what is called ‘history’ (world-historical historizing). 1
