In his later philosophy, Heidegger attempts to reconstruct the "history of being" in order to show how the different epochs in the history of philosophy were dominated by different conceptions of being. [104] His goal is to retrieve the original experience of being present in the early Greek thought that was covered up by later philosophers. [105]
In Being and Time Heidegger briefly refutes the philosophy of René Descartes (in an exercise he called "destructuring"), but the second volume, intended as a Destruktion of Western philosophy, was never written.

Heidegger does not engage in speculation about whether being ...

It was published five days after Heidegger's death, on 31 May 1976. [1]
