Ontologization and pre-theoretical concept of practice. Further reflections on the problem of Heidegger’s practical philosophy

Although it is not rare in research to consider Heidegger?s thoughts in the light of the rela?tionship between theory and practice, Heidegger behaves himself against this dichotomy. In order to understand Heidegger?s criticism of this dichotomy and his conception of the original unity between theory and practice, we must trace back to Heidegger?s reading of Aristotle?s practical philosophy. It is attempted to show that Heidegger?s ontologization of practice aims at elaborating the pre-theoretical concept of practice, which is in contrast to the unity of theory and poiesis. The ontologization is realized through the method of formal indication, which in this sense is at the center of Heidegger?s philosophy.
