all other questions seem to be for heidegger confined to limited fields of knowledge where data and information just increases. Whereas the question of being will potentially make clear the necessity of these information structures. Humane sciences are historical in character (tradition). Theology (for Heidegger) is still confined to methodology. (purpose?)
The question of Being aims tehrefore at ascertaining the a priori conditions not only for the possibility of the sciences which examine entities as entities of such and such a type, and, in so doing, already operate with an understanding of Being, but also for the possbility of those ontologies themselves which are prior to the ontical sciences and which provide their foundations. Bacially, all ontology, no matter how rich and firmly compacted a system of categories it has at its disposal, remains blind and perverted from its ownmost aim, if it has not first adequately clarified the meaning of Being, and conceived this clarification as its fundamental task.
