Abstract
The aim of this study is to help to clarify Heidegger's conception of metaphysics as "history of esse" (Geschichte des Seins), namely on the basis of one of his "leading" words (Leitworte), that is through the title "der Anfang" - beginning. The work tries to understand it using what the author terms as "anfängliches Denken", by following the initial grasp of esse.
The centre of the study therefore consist in the texts in which Heidegger deals with the thinkers usually called presocratics and whom he himself classes as thinkers of beginning or thinkers of FYSIS.
