Most of the interpretations on Being and Time consider Dasein’s analysis an eidetic one, and sustain that its originality lies on including practical attributes. This conception forgets that as Being is above all material regions, it cannot be apprehend through essences, but through forms. Dasein is not an essence but a formal concept that defines human being not from some intrinsic attributes, but from its relations with its environment. This kind of analysis gives new light to the problem of alterity, because the subject is no more the point of departure, but the relation. However, Heidegger continues with the modern monadologic tradition. Our thesis is that this continuity is not due to the things itself, but to the philosopher’s obsession of justifying the Being’s multiple manifestations with only one sense: temporality.
