DIAZ PUMARA, Teresita. Un olvido en el pensar del olvido: Notas acerca de la naturaleza y del ser natural en Heidegger. Tópicos [online]. 2008, n.16, pp.69-86. ISSN 1666-485X.

1) The aim of the paper is to trace what we call oblivion in the thought of Martin Heidegger: the question about the nature and the natural being of the Dasein. Two questions are raised: Does Heidegger get trapped in the nature-spirit opposition? Is the Dasein sufficiently and satisfactorily though of in its factuality, if the natural dimension of its being has been silenced? 2) Within representative thought: the world in the original dimension in which the Dasein is rooted and in which the opening up of Being and the prior self-offering of the intra-mundane entity as a tool (Zeug) takes place. 3) Nature in Being and Time: nature as being-at-hand and nature of the surrounding world. 4) Nature as organic or animal life in Fundamental Concepts of Metaphysics: the animal deprived of a world and the question about human animality. 5) Nature as earth in "The Origin of the Work of Art". 6) Two alternatives to think upon nature from [the perspective of] an ontology of negativity: Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Georges Bataille. 7) Conclusion: Heidegger's "oblivion" implies the risk of getting trapped in the classical nature-spirit opposition and of not being able to unfold every dimension of factuality.
