Summary/Abstract: The author attempts to identify Heidegger’s starting point in philosophy. The paper shows why Heidegger had to turn to Aristotle in his understanding of phronesis. Th e insights he gained served to develop a phenomenology of life as a pretheoretical starting point from which the theoretical can ultimately take direction. He thus arrived at a “hermeneutics of facticity” that attempts to offer a propositional description of life through his own living motion.
