Abstract

ORTIZ LOPEZ, Juan Sebastián. The leap of thinking: the phenomenological attitude that distances us from the metaphysical wandering. Estud.filos [online]. 2020, n.61, pp.91-106. ISSN 0121-3628.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.ef.n61a07.

Heidegger’s late writings make constant allusion to a way of thinking that differs from metaphysics. While in metaphysical thinking we wander away from being, in the new thinking we are only in relation to being. For Heidegger, the only way to get out of the first and reach the second one is through a leap. This paper aims to clarify why there is only one way to access this new way of thinking and to defend that this is the radicalization of the phenomenological maxim. To achieve this goal, the paper characterizes metaphysical thinking as erratic thinking; next, it characterizes the leap, understood as a sudden step to the unconcealment of being; and finally, it presents the consequences of these characterizations and the contrast between them.

Keywords : Heidegger; thinking; metaphysics; leap; errancy.
