The Horizon of Being
As far as my love of the clarity and transparency
of Galileo’s writing allows me to decipher the
deliberate obscurity of Heidegger’s language that
“time temporalizes itself only
to the extent that it is human,”
for him also, time is the time of
mankind. the time for doing, for that
with which mankind is engaged
even if, afterward, since he is
interested in what being is for man,
“the entity that poses the problem of existence”,
Heidegger ends up by identifying the internal
consciousness of time as the horizon of being itself.
