Blumenberg versus Heidegger: La metaforología como destino del análisis existencial

Abstract

Blumenberg´s “metaphorology” is offered as an hermeneutical alternative to the Heideggerian existential hermeneutic. This implies that philosophical anthropology —as we find it in Gehlen, Plessner and others— achieves onthological standing, and is developed as a history of great metaphors, which supports the history of ideas.
