ABSTRACT
In Being and Time, Heidegger changes the direction of phenomenology away from Edmund Husserl. In the work Heidegger explores various ways that we exist and encounter being. Ontology is the philosophical study of being. In this depiction, Heidegger is engaged in a novel sort of phenomenological ontology. In this depiction, Heidegger is engaged in a novel sort of phenomenological ontology. The explicit formulation of the inquiry of the meaning of being requires a prior explication of being with respect to being. According to the guideline of the question's per se formal structure, the characteristics of the inquiry into being have made it clear that this question is a singular one. The inquiry into Being thus aims not only at ascertaining an a priori condition of the possibility of scientific investigation of beings of such and such sort but also it aims at the threshold of possible ontologies that proceed from and are found in the ontic sciences.
