The formation of M. Heidegger's hermeneutics: dialogue with W. Dilthey and P. Yorck von Wartenburg

The paper is focused on the formation of Martin Heidegger's hermeneutics in a dialogue with Wilhelm Dilthey and Paul Yorck von Wartenburg. Having read Dilthey in the light of his dialogue with Paul Yorck, Heidegger undertook an ontological interpretation of his teaching on historical experience, embodying it in a system of its existential characteristics. The reinterpretation of Dilthey's ideas led him to the central conclusion of the metaphysics of finiteness that the analysis of historical experience necessarily entails the conclusion that historicity is Dasein’s property making possible and constantly reproducible knowledge of the past and cultural traditions.
