Abstract

STEIN, Ernildo. Looking for a non-metaphysical language. Nat. hum. [online]. 2004, vol.6, n.2, pp. 289-304. ISSN 1517-2430.

the present article examines Heidegger's approach to the conditioning context of the appearance of metaphor in the use of language. This context is of metaphysical nature to the degree to which it supposes the classical dualisms of the history of metaphysics: the sensible world and the supra-sensible world. The adequate figure to schematize this conditioning context would be the metonymy, and the function of such a scheme is of philosophical nature: establish the opposition between the types of language adequate to speech that respect ontological difference.

Keywords : Heidegger; Language; Metaphor; Metaphysics.
