Being and time: existentialism versus anthropology

This article analyzes the principal work of Heidegger. The author tried to lay out the basic features of Heidegger's understanding of the human being in comparison with the philosophical anthropology. The text is the overall exposure of Heidegger's understanding of the world in its relation to man. We consider both the historical and philosophical origins of Heidegger's ideas and especially his own position. Heidegger often mentions the ideas of Kant, Aristotle, Hegel, Husserl, Scheler and Kierkegaard. The essence of Heidegger's ontology of world order that the correlation of the "subject" and "object" is set initially. And in this correlation privileged or establish, a leading component is Dasein. Heidegger says about the original individual, describing the general categories of "humanity" or "species" of both formal and empty. He calls the philosophy of life and philosophical anthropology "ontology of life", setting it lower in comparison with his "ontology of presence". All the arguments of Heidegger represent the "circular reasoning" and he admits it. Indeed, "being" is only "human." Being non-humans do not. He then introduces the idea of "existence" and in line with it explains all of human existence or the world. This is the norm for the "philosophy of consciousness" where consciousness is extended to his emotional characteristics. So, the very human being is a full circle and it is necessary to get inside.Key chapters of the treatise devoted to human self-understanding. This is the analysis of the consciousness of mortality, guilt, conscience and determination. Heidegger's existential analysis has given impressive results in terms of understanding the fate of potentially personal principle in man. This is a profound teaching necessary for understanding the deep motivation and internal events that take place in human hearts. Especially it comes to the minds of those who are constantly transcend human limits.
