Problem of Fundamental Ontology, The: Volume Two (Electronic book text)

In this second volume, the purpose is to expose specific features of the conventionality of Heidegger's promotion on behalf of pronounced inertia in the dynamic of human history. To dispel any suspicion of simplistic reactionary motive, there is at the outset an account of the commitment of his work to a major participative role for human finitude in the originary strike of physis or nature.The main thrust of his addressing this fundamental structure, takes the form of tracking the work of major figures in the history of Western thought, from Heraclitus to Nietzsche. In this way the kinetic and volitional resources at the center of the excitement undergo rationalist tempering. At the close of these proceedings, we are left to ponder a supposed and indistinct onto-theo-logical structure of facticity.
