    "abstract": "This essay focuses on Heidegger’s 1921–22 lecture course Phenomenological Interpretations of Aristotle: Initiation into Phenomenological Research and attempts to reframe the fascinating methodological innovations introduced here by the young Heidegger, specifically formal indication, life as ruinance, and ontological phenomenology as counter-ruinance. Rather than approaching these simply, or even primarily, as supplements to or departures from Husserlian phenomenology, I suggest that we view them first and foremost as strategies necessitated in response to the challenge of late-stage historicism—that is, in light of the challenge of carrying out the task of philosophizing, seeking the truth about “what is,” in a mode emphatically and insuperably immanent to the condition of exhaustively historically determined consciousness."
