Scene of existence, language and the opennness of being. Heidegger's concept of existential spatiality - a study

The purpose of the submitted thesis is to develop an explication of Heidegger's concept of existential spatiality. One of the components of this purpose is an attempt at independent interpretation of existential characteristics attained in the process and of constitutive structures of human spatiality.

In this respect, the submitted thesis is hermeneutic. Of course, in order to base his explication on his own understanding of phenomena, the interpreter has simultaneously to make independent analyses of relevant phenomena. Independent phenomenological analysis subsequently facilitates further interpretative development of the original explications found in..
