Abstract

The intention of this paper is to highlight and point out how the ancient literature, mythology and numerous philosophical sources formed the roots of the idea of care in a familiar Hyginus Myth of Cura. Comparing Boff’s and Heidegger’s notion of care, in this paper authors emphasize the importance of care as a constitutive and essential moment of humanity. The myth suggests that, acording to Boff’s interpretation, human being contains not only earthly but also the divine dimension. For him, care becomes a key possibility of healing and salvation of human essence and existence as a whole. On the other hand, through the phenomenological approach, Heidegger in his major work Being and Time, argues that care is the primary concern of the structure and meaning of being human in the world. In this paper authors present and discuss the basic concepts and theses of those authors, and the expected contribution of this paper will go towards pointing out the importance of care as the ground of the inner possibility of the human beings and the existence of life as a whole.
