Abstract
As it can be inferred from writings drafted in the time period that spans from the lecture course on Schelling (SS 1936) and the talk “Die Frage nach der Technik” (1953), Heidegger’s conception of evil differs from the traditional one. Indeed Heidegger, in a “beyng-historical” perspective, defines evil as a consequence of the “nonessence” of Beyng. The framework of this definition is the complection of the first beginning of the history of Beyng, when the forgetfulness of the original truth has led to annihilation by will to power. On the one hand Heidegger’s reflections place themselves on a pure ontological level, while on the other hand they don’t ignore that man is co-responsible for the realisation of evil. Thus, the Heideggerian meditation of evil makes it possible to clarify boundaries and scope of the thinking of Being.
