SUM, ERGO COGITO: EGO’NUN FENOMENAL ZEMİNİNE İLİŞKİN HEIDEGGERCİ ÇÖZÜMLEME

Abstract

The aim of the present essay is, from the perspective of the Heideggerian phenomenology, to set forth the problems given way to by the dualist point of view which lets the Cartesian philosophy to emerge as an epistemological enterprise. In order to do this, Dasein or being-inthe-world will be brought to the agenda, as the ontological infrastructure of the subject which assumes the certainty of its presence so as to base the certainty of the outer world thereupon. With Heidegger, it will be claimed that in what way the self-enclosed subject would be able to get out of itself and to attain the knowledge of the world cannot be handled as an epistemological problem. It will therefore be tried to be proved that the epistemological questioning corresponds to no other area of questioning other than that which finds its roots in the question of being.
