Abstract
This article examines Heidegger’s notion of the overcoming of metaphysics (Überwindung der Metaphysik), conceived as a movement of transposition and recollection rather than simple negation. From the destruction of ontology in Being and Time to the meditative thinking of Gelassenheit, the study traces the path through which Heidegger transforms metaphysics into the history of Beyng (Seyn). Through a hermeneutical and conceptual reading, it follows the theoretical and historical inflections of Heidegger’s thought, emphasizing the Kehre and the Ereignis as decisive moments. Finally, it addresses the ambiguity between the “end” of philosophy and the opening of a “new beginning” pointing to the aporetic and meditative nature of this thinking.
