Martin Heidegger (1889 - 1976), a leading thinker of the twentieth century, provides a new direction for philosophical awareness and the history of our time.
His thought, a genuine culmination of Western philosophical reflection, leads to the collapse of classical ontology and the need to return to primordial sources, starting with the presocratic philosophers, Anaximander, Heraclitus, and Parmenides.
This text attempts to reposition the ontological question through the interpretation of the ancient Greek spirit, both philosophical and tragic, in order to clarify the origins of Western thought.
Only in this way, according to the author, can we philosophically appreciate our current situation and endow it with ontologically valid content.
