Summary/Abstract: This paper is about the problem of understanding of non-human beings in Heidegger's philosophy during 1930's. My point is to stress the importance of this problem is in Heidegger's later philosophy, in comparison to his early thought. I will try to show that 'thing' is the main Heidegger's notion denoting categorial kind of beings. I will also present the problem of space as the key perspective for the interpretation of categorial beings. The results of these analyses should enable further and more precise interpretation of particular topics of Heidegger's thought, such as question of artwork, of thing, of building, etc.
