Schleiermacher and Heidegger

Kisiel has shown that Heidegger arrived at his idea of ‘being in the world’, which is prior to any epistemological attempt to ground knowledge in an account of the relationship between subject and object, and at his desire to deconstruct previous metaphysics, in part via his reading of Schleiermacher's On Religion.
