Abstract

The paper explores the dialogue between Neo-kantianism, Phenomenology and Hermeneutics, as held in the Kriegsnotsemester lectures given by Martin Heidegger in 1919. The extent to which those lectures might cast some light on the contemporary restatement of transcendental philosophy will be on view. Special attention shall be put on Heidegger's scrutiny of a series of aporias Windelband's and Rickert's theories of values suffer from, and on Heidegger's disclosure of a new «space of meaning» in the wake of Lask that contemporary philosophy is allegedly engaged with. It is from this pre-theoretical and factical dimension of sense that we are enabled to reshape the notion of normativity.
