Resumen

This paper explores the problematic of the preontological “misunderstanding” of Being, which would occur in everyday life when a being is not uncovered in the light of its more originary Being or way of Being. The character of the investigation is explorative for two reasons: be-cause Heidegger never raises the stated problematic and because its amplitude makes it impos-sible to display it here in all its nuances. The inquiry is articulated in three steps: first, we show that in its daily performance the pre-ontological understanding of Being opens up a di-versity of ways of Being, so that the daily “indifference” to which Heidegger repeatedly refers reveals itself to be hermeneutic-phenomenologically untenable; second, we attest the structur-al, relational and horizontal conditions that sustain the possibility of the misunderstanding of a certain way of Being in its phenomenal nexus to a certain being; third, we examine two concretions in which the pre-ontological misunderstanding crystallizes itself: transposition and superposition.
