The e-book indicates that Heidegger's Aristotle interpretation of the Twenties is essential to his considering as an try and lead metaphysics again to its personal presuppositions, and that his mirrored image on paintings within the Nineteen Thirties necessitates a revision of this interpretation itself. It argues that it is just in tracing this circulation of Heidegger's Aristotle interpretation that we will thoroughly have interaction with the ancient value of his considering, and with the destiny of metaphysics and aesthetics within the current age.

Example text
For all that first philosophy, as we have seen, claims to search for the ti or the ‘what’ of the being of beings, being itself escapes and transcends all definition. To define, for Aristotle, is to subsume what is defined under a genus of which it is the species; man, for example, The Question of Being 23 is a rational animal. To define being, then, would be to subsume it under a genus that would necessarily be more universal than being itself. Yet, this is impossible. The former argument, the one according to which ‘it is impossible for … τ ν, being to be a genus’ [998b22], is justified in Metaphysics Beta by a demonstration of the absurd consequences of supposing that it were: if being were a genus, it would have to be differentiated into species by differentia, such as rational in the case of the rational animal; yet everything is in being, and thus the genus would already be attributed to the species-forming differentia, which is impossible.
First of all, hule does not originally mean matter as an undifferentiated substrate of all things. It comes to have this sense in the Physics, as will become clear, wherein Aristotle argues for the existence of a primary matter from which the four elements – earth, fire, air and water – derive. Prior to this account of matter, it means material in the sense of the raw material, the work-material out of which a product is made. More narrowly it means wood, both in the sense of a wood or forest and of timber as the work-material from which products such as tables and chairs The Question of Being 31 are produced.
Being here would have a meaning, without this meaning having been brought explicitly into the open or having been thought as such. In fact, it is this meaning of being that would determine the scope and limits of the first extensive philosophical account of time, which is to be found in the fourth book of Aristotle’s Physics. The third chapter of this study will examine this question, but on Heidegger’s account, by virtue of his ‘understanding’ of being as presence Aristotle would think time on the basis of the present, of the now, and perhaps even as itself something present, ‘as one entity among other entities’ [SZ 26].
