CONCEPT OF CONSCIENCE IN BEING AND TIME

Abstract

The concept of conscience is among those rare ones which Heidegger takes inthe sense close to that which they have traditionally. The conceptual net, which establishes theconcept of conscience, belongs within the realm of practical philosophy (guilt, choice, decisionetc.), although Heidegger explicitly rejects ethical approach towards the conscience in favor ofontological. This article tends to present diffi culties of that approach which, after all, disables themediation of the vulgar and existential interpretation of conscience.
