L’apparire e le sue condizioni. Il rapporto tra «ontico» e «ontologico» nella lettura severiniana di Heidegger

In Heidegger e la metafisica, Severino dwells on Kant’s Heideggerian in- terpretation, which understands the complex relationship between the concepts of transcendental and empirical found in the Critique of Pure Reason in the light of the distinction between “ontological” and “ontic” knowledge. According to Severi- no, however, it is a question of going back to the ontological ground of knowledge, that is, the “transcendental capacity to manifest beings”, starting from the “original dateness” of the experience, through a demonstration that is also a metempirical affirmation. Nevertheless, this conception was abandoned by Severino in the subsequent La struttura originaria. Even if the persistence of the distinction between an ontological and an ontic plane of knowledge, in which the former continues to be meant as the a priori condition of the manifestation of beings, entails the risk of the establishment of an aporia within the changed theoretical context.
