Heidegger e a modernidade: Sobre a ideia heideggeriana de “consumação da metafísica”

Résumé

In this paper, we intend to accomplish a brief account
about some key concepts and notions in Heidegger’s philosophy such
as World, Clearing/nighting (Lichtung), Thought, Being, Metaphysics
and Modernity to delineate the idea of ending of metaphysics. Keeping
there concepts and notions as main track of our analysis, we
chose some of Heidegger’s writings, just the necessary ones, to drive
us around the contours of the so-called Task of Thought. This designation
is understood as the duty of philosophy in its genesis, that had
persevered until the treatment that Nietzsche’s philosophy gave to it
in the late nineteenth century, which was named by himself inverted
platonism. This treatment was interpreted by Heidegger as the final
culmination of Western metaphysics. According to him, Nietzsche’s
philosophy constitutes the supreme achievement in the history of philosophy,
the Age of Technique, the final endeavor of this historical trajectory.
