THE ONTOLOGICAL PROBLEM OF SPACE IN PARAGRAPHS 22 A 24 OF BEING AND TIME

Abstract

Because the ontological problem of space is still open in Heideggerian philosophy, we have assumed the question of space’s being, in paragraphs 22 to 24 of Being and Time, as our own problem. We presuppose that spatiality is an a priori that constitutes space as a character of being of Dasein and of innerworldly things. Our aim is to investigate how we can also consider space as an existential of Dasein, as well as a category which allows the worldliness of the world to be seen. Our purpose is to make clear that when we consider spatiality as an a priori, we can say that spatiality acts like the concept of onto logical difference, in this case as the ontological difference between the spatial character of being of Dasein and of the world. For us, it means that spatiality does not imply an aporia.­
