Abstract: | [Correction Notice: An erratum for this article was reported in Vol 23(4) of Psychoanalytic Psychology (see record 2006-20697-002). The sentence on p. 599 should read as follows: "Heidegger makes crystal clear that by Being-in he does not mean a categorial relationship in which one present-at-hand entity is spatially contained inside another present-at-hand entity."] This article explores Heidegger's investigative method--which the author sees as a unique blending of phenomenology, hermeneutics, and contextualism--and its relationship to its subject matter, the meaning of Being. The unity of Heidegger's investigative method and its subject matter is seen to mirror the contextual whole whose basic structure as Being-in-the-world his investigation unveils.
