A novel interpretation of Heidegger's project in thelate twenties and of its breakdown and transformation around the turn of thedecade. I argue that Heidegger develops a unified project in the late Marburgperiod that is constructed around the question of the unity of the concept ofbeing in light of its regional multiplicity. Furthermore, I argue that Heidegger'sconception of the framework of this project is highly influenced by his receptionof Kant in this same period. Specifically, I identify the elements of the Kantianframework that Heidegger retains and appropriates for his project, as well asthose elements that he rejects. In the former case, Heidegger takes up primarilyKant's framework of a priori transcendental conditions that are to makeempirical experience possible, which Heidegger reformulates in terms of the preunderstandingof being that makes possible the apprehension of entities. In thelatter case, I isolate two primary criticisms that will serve as desiderata for theexecution of Heidegger's project, namely: that the categories have an excessivelysubjectivistic status, and that they are based solely on logical functions ofjudgement. The former constitutes a problem because the location of thecategories on the subject side makes difficult their applicability to the objectiverealm, and lead Heidegger to reject both the quid juris form of posing thequestion as well as the results of the transcendental deduction in general.
