Abstract
The article seeks to deliver a short comment of Heidegger’s interpretation of Kant’s “Transcendental Logic”. Unlike most of current interpretations, Heidegger holds that Kant’s transcendental logic is by no means “logic” in ordinary sense, i.e., an inquiry into understanding and the formal rules of thinking; rather it must be conceived as a kind of ontology and an investigation on the existential-ontological structures of human being in respect to the possibility of his confrontation to the being of entities or, more simply, as an effort in order to pass beyond Cartesian subjectivism and demonstration of the possibility of transcendence.
