The misconceptions of legal-philosophical approaches to Heideggerian thought:

the disregard of the Kehre

Abstract

This article revisits an old discussion: the approximation of existential-ontological philosophy to the philosophy of law. Through a reassessment of the theoretical approaches that emerged especially from the 1950s onwards, the study seeks to demonstrate that these approaches suffered from reliance on distinct phenomenological foundations and, ultimately, in relation to their engagement with Heideggerian philosophy, from a fragmented understanding of the proposal that Heidegger presented, particularly in his writings after the Kehre. This is the contribution of this work: a step toward a metontological understanding of law, which will be further explored in the near future.
