Hermeneutyczna koncepcja podmiotu Martina Heideggera.
Hermeneutic Concept of Subject According to Martin Heidegger

Summary/Abstract: Philosophy is hermeneutics. This statement by Martin Heidegger may be read asa call to practice philosophy in a new way and, therefore, to look critically at thewhole philosophical tradition. But this new approach to philosophizing, differentfrom the traditional one, implies different understanding of the essence of man. Accordingto the author of Being and Time, the hermeneutical conception of humanitydescribes more adequately than any previous conceptions our factual experienceof both ourselves and the surrounding reality. He strongly opposes it to the modernvision of subjectivity, which he derives from Descartes. This paper is an attemptat analyzing this opposition. Much attention is devoted to the examination of thegeneral relationship between prevailing visions of reality and dominant views onthe essence of man. In particular, I’m interested in the relationship, which is veryimportant for Heidegger, between the scientific picture of the world and the modernconception subjectivity. I consider, too, the practical consequences of the prevalenceof this particular image of humanity.
