Storia ed evento in Heidegger: dalla storia in Sein und Zeit alla storia dell’Essere (1927-1944)

In this article we present and historically reconstruct the problem and meaning of history in its relation to the question of being in Heidegger’s thought, in particular from 1927 to the philosophy of the event, a period that extends to 1944. The main works of these decades are then specifically analysed, from Sein und Zeit to the unpublished treatises on the event, including also Vom Wesen des Grundes and Vom Wesen der Wahrheit, as well as the Black Notebooks, with an emphasis on their essential fragments. The problem of history is shown as early as 1927 in close connection with the phenomenon of being, and they develop together up to the Heideggerian philosophy of the event. The origin of the problem is to be found in the connection that Heidegger establishes between history, existence and philosophy as unitary phenomena in relation to being that explain each other, thus passing from the existential historicity of Being and time to the history of being as Ereignis (or vice versa, to the Ereignis as history of being).
