О СТАТЬЕ ДМИТРИЯ ФЕДЧУКА «СХОЛАСТИЧЕСКОЕ РАЗЛИЧИЕ В СУЩЕМ И ОНТОЛОГИЧЕСКАЯ ДИФФЕРЕНЦИЯ»

Summary/Abstract: The paper contains few reflections based on the Dmitry Fedchuk’s article published in thevolume 2 (2) 2013 of “Horizon. Studies in Phenomenology” under the title “Scholastic Distinctionin Finite Being and Ontological Difference”. The Fedchuk’s theses that the entity butnot the being as such has to be the proper subject of ontology and that the Heidegger’s attemptto express by the notions the sense of the being as such was unsuccessful are secondedhere. Two points of Fedchuk’s view of Heidegger’s failure are emphasized also, namely, Heidegger’sabstractions of pure being from entities by the ontological difference as well as hisreduction of the being to its giveness in the human understanding (Heidegger’s idealism).But it is pointed also that Fedchuk’s argumentation in his attack on Heidegger isn’t alwayssufficient. For example Fedchuk don’t notice that Heidegger believes that the being is alwaysthe being of entities and therefore his fundamental ontology should lead to the building ofso-called metontology.
