WU, Roberto. The nous and the indication of factical life . []. , 13, 1, pp.102-116. ISSN 1517-2430.

The notion of formal indication in Heidegger's thought assembles three basic elements in the perspective of meaning (Sinn): the subject (Gehalt), the relation (Bezug) and the actualization (Vollzug). In the perspective of philosophical concepts, these three elements articulate themselves as the apprehension of the world, in the phenomenological sense, with the goal of avoiding a theoretical look which arranges the beings in a form of generalization. Seen in these terms, the "Natorp Report" (Phenomenological Interpretations in Connection with Aristotle: an indication of the hermeneutical situation) provides an interpretation of factical life, since the perspective of the Aristotelian concepts. This article pretends to present in a provisory way the importance of the concept of nous, which has the character of openness and making-possible, as well as his actualization (Vollzug) in the modes articulated by discourse (logos). With this in mind, the article intends to demonstrate that Heideggerian's appropriation of Aristotelian philosophy is determined by the "referring-prohibitive" and "reversing-transforming" functions.
