“The Aristotelian Natural Listening is a hidden and ... never sufficiently studied and understood book referencing the entirety of Western philosophy.” Given this assessment, the interpretation of the Aristotelian text in the treatise On Substance and the Concept of Nature, Aristotle, Natural Listening, B 1 (1939) is particularly significant for understanding Heidegger's own thinking.
The definition of nature as “the principle of the motion of naturally existing beings” allows Heidegger to interpret Aristotelian physics both as innovative and, on the other hand, as the echo of the thought of the great Pre-Socratics. The richly detailed Aristotelian text also provides him the opportunity to develop a nuanced as well as peculiar interpretation of central concepts of Aristotelian ontology (principle, cause, category, substance, matter and form, potency, act, and entelechy, truth, logos, etc.).
The analysis of the distinction between nature and art reveals Heidegger's concern for the deeper metaphysical dimension and significance of contemporary technology.
The present treatise is one of the particularly important texts connected to the main work of Heidegger's middle period, the “Contributions to Philosophy.” Through a thorough and profound interpretation of the Aristotelian text, it simultaneously presents Heidegger's fundamental positions regarding Aristotelian ontology.
