It has since been edited. There is a vacuous space in which an ethics can be explored within the thought of Martin Heidegger, providing that the ethics in question bears compatibility with fundamental ontology - the inquiry into Being in general, defined in this paper as the 'is-ness' of the 'is' and that which qualifies the 'to be' of all entities. Attempts at a Heideggerian ethics have previously constrained their construction to a system that fits in a traditionally defined discipline, that of ethics as prescribing guidelines or rules of action, thus rendering the construction of that system unjustified and fundamentally blind to the endeavour of Martin Heidegger. The formulation of ethics in this study aims to, in line with Heidegger's want of the destruction of the history of ontology, ride the wave, as it were, of Heidegger's destructive wish for Philosophy. This opens up a space in which one can reconsider the discipline of ethics itself. This study claims that a Heideggerian account of ethics can be built upon the concept of Authentic Concern. However, this first requires a reconceptualisation of the notion of ethics itself. Heidegger provides grounds on which to do so with a passing remark stating ethics as an interpretive method of human behaviour. This remark is, crucially, taken with his notion of an "originary" ethics as that which underlies the ethical endeavour.
