Abstract

The concepts and problems in Kant’s philosophy play a central role in the young Heidegger’s thinking. This article examines the understanding of the concept of a priori offered by Heidegger, primarily in the lessons of 1925 and in Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics. Without aspiring to a new metaphysics, Heidegger extracts all the ontological workings of the a priori / transcendental contained in the Critique of Pure Reason, after detaching it from the legitimacy of objective knowledge, and refers to it as a key concept of phenomenology: intentionality.
