Abstract

This paper aims to highlight the importance of Plato's philosophy for the development of some of Heidegger's ideas, particularly those from the period prior to the 1930s. Heidegger's works can be divided into two periods with respect to his reflections on Plato, which reflections are, accordingly, not reducible to a single interpretation. The criticisms that he directed against Plato at the time of his "turn" (Kehre) do not oppose or overshadow the positive views of the same philosopher to be found in Being and Time, where the quest for the meaning of being is, after all, a repetition of a problem generated by Platonism.
