The doctrine of formal indication in the light of the crisis of the program of "Being and Time".

Abstract

What happens with the theory of formal indication in light of the crisis of "Being and Time" project? This paper aims at showing how Heidegger, during the autocritical analysis of his Fundamental Ontology in the Thirties, abandons some key points of his conception about formal indication and at the same time he maintains and develops further some others aspects of this concept. The main thesis of this papers is as follows: Heidegger's revision of the concept of formal indication led him to abandon the metaphilosophical realm in which this conception was based on during the Twenties. Heidegger, out of his autocriticism, began to rethink the formal indication structure, putting more emphasis on the dynamic of appellation.
