Description
Summary:In the following decades he turns away from his previous attempt to understand being through an analysis of human existence that makes use of the terminology of transcendence and the horizon of projection, and toward being itself in its historical-epochal unfoldings and as the world-opening "enowning event" (Ereignis) whereby human existence is itself opened and shaped.3 Heidegger's later (post-1930) Kant-readings for the most part do not discuss the imagination.4 But the imagination is discussed in other works. In conclusion and in summary, we may discern from Heidegger's various musings that if the hylo-morphism of the imagination as an epistemic faculty vis-a-vis the receptivity of sense-data requires a prior unity of its spontaneity with that receptivity, ultimately indicating the ontological unity of human existence in relation to the world as being-in-the-world, then that unifying power that unfolds beings in the aletheic formations (poiesis) of being, is in excess to, alterior to, any faculty or spontaneous power of subjectivity.
