According to F. Volpi, on the one hand Heidegger himself opposed the theoretical construction of practical philosophy, but on the other hand he influenced the development of contemporary German practical philosophy and started the trend of revival of practical philosophy. The starting point of this study is to provide a credible explanation for this quandary raised by Volpi. To this end, this study proposes the concept of "ontology of practice" to present Heidegger's thought on the practical philosophy. It is worth pointing out that the formulation and the idea of ontology of practice are still new in Heidegger studies. Undoubtedly, the clarification of the relationship between Heidegger and practical philosophy will not only help us deepen our understanding of the overall pattern of Heidegger's philosophy and its practical significance, but also allow us to deepen our thinking about the origin of the revival of practical philosophy in contemporary Germany. While previous studies of Heidegger's practical philosophical thought have tended to begin with texts such as Being and Time or the later Heidegger's Letter on Humanism, this study focuses on Heidegger's early philosophy, including his early Freiburg Lectures and his interpretation of Aristotle. Heidegger's early Freiburg Lectures have been one of the focuses of scholarly attention since the 1990s, with scholars such as Th. Kisiel, F.-W. von Herrmann, H.-H. Gander, G. Imdahl etc. While most of the previous studies have been conducted from the perspective of phenomenology or philosophy of life, this study examines the early Freiburg lectures from the perspective of practical philosophy, which is also a new attempt in the academic field. Another focus of this study is Heidegger's interpretation of Aristotle, represented by F. Volpi, G. Figal, J. Taminiaux, J. Backman etc. On the basis of the previous studies, this

Diese Doppeldeutigkeit von substantia, die schon der antike Begriff der οὐσία bei sich führt, ist nicht zufällig." 1 Es ist bekannt, dass der Terminus substantia die lateinische Übersetzung von οὐσία ist. Um die Zweideutigkeit von substantia angemessen zu verstehen, sollte auf den Begriff οὐσία eingegangen werden. Der Begriff οὐσία kann als Seiendheit übersetzt werden; 2 dennoch insistiert Heidegger darauf, οὐσία

His ideas finally lead to the development of the method of formal indication. In this essay, I will consider first the methodological function of historical things, in order to illustrate the method of destruction. Then, I will explain the definition of philosophy from the point of view of formal indication, thereby showing how different this method is from traditional philosophical methods. Finally, I will analyse the importance of this transformation of methodology, in order to reveal in which sense a concrete universality is possible and how it contributes to the foundation of the ontology of life.

海德格尔存在问题的源头可以追溯至其思想的开端处，亦即他的早期弗莱堡讲课中。通过对世界观哲学和科学哲学的双重批判，他提出了从“理论之物”回归“前理论之物”的哲学道路。然而，前理论之物究竟意指“实际... more 海德格尔存在问题的源头可以追溯至其思想的开端处，亦即他的早期弗莱堡讲课中。通过对世界观哲学和科学哲学的双重批判，他提出了从“理论之物”回归“前理论之物”的哲学道路。然而，前理论之物究竟意指“实际生活”还是“存在意义”却并不明朗。通过解构和形式显示方法，海德格尔将两者统一于“先行把握”，这就是早期海德格尔“实际性存在论”这一哲学规划的主要特征。同时，这也导致了早期海德格尔的“存在论转向”。然而，与其说“存在论转向”是海德格尔对实际生活与存在意义的两难处境的最终解决，不如说，它恰恰突出地显示出了这一两难处境，而后者恰恰构成了哲学思考的动力所在。

The central question here is how the non-theoretical access to the factual life and its movement is possible. Accordingly, Heidegger develops three conceptions one after another in his lectures: The original science of factual life in and of itself, the categorial explication of factual life and finally the hermeneutics of facticity. These conceptions are examined from a thematic and a methodological perspective in order to bring to light the development of Heidegger's thought in his early Freiburg lectures, which finally ends in the hermeneutics of facticity.

The issue is focused on the basic philosophy education of undergraduates and the research-based philosophy education of doctoral students. It is claimed that there are at least seven aspects of German philosophy education from which Chinese philosophy departments should learn: liberal style of German education, atmosphere and tradition of discussion and dialogue, importance of basic academic training, individualized teaching; construction of academic team and echelon, awareness of intellectual propriety rights and cooperation, and combination of general direction and specific operational procedures.

Its goal is to make Heidegger alive and to reveal what he means for the history of thought and even for our modern life. At the same time the author always believes that to understand Heidegger, it is necessary to reveal the universal and radical questions to which his philosophy responds.

Gezeigt wird die grundlegende Bedeutung Heideggers für die Rehabilitierung der praktischen Philosophie, die von den Schülern Heideggers initiiert wurde. Es handelt sich um die Entwicklung der formal anzeigenden Methode, durch die die neue Bestimmung der Philosophie zustande gebracht und die Zusammengehörigkeit zwischen Sein und Praxis erschlossen wird. Ferner wird deutlich, inwiefern Heidegger in diesem nihilistischen technischen Zeitalter noch eine wichtige Rolle spielen kann.
