Abstract:
The present analysis aims at a synthetic but finished description of the phenomenon of alterity in M. Heidegger’s thought, first addressing the double treatment that is given to this in Being and time as otherness and community, as well as the subsequent development and deepening that it experienced in the 1930s hand in hand with the concept of people. Two central questions guide this writing: the first is that due to the methodical necessity that determines the people as the broadest possible form of the human community and the second one that seeks to determine to what degree the Volk is a community characterized by a true openness to the Other.
