The aim of the paper is to analyze the reception of Heidegger in Argentina, focusing on how this was used and circulated during period of “classic Peronism” (1943-1955) from a socio-historical perspective. We will deal with the “contexts” and “texts” through which Heidegger was circulated in the philosophical field in Argentina. First we will analyze the political and cultural context of Peronism in which the phenomenon of the Argentinian reception of Heidegger developed. We will then address the question of the “intrinsic parameters” that influenced the acceptance and productivity of Heidegger’s existentialism in Argentina, focusing on the themes, styles of writing, complexity, level of abstraction, generalization and “translatability” of Heideggerian concepts.
