The Heidegger's early Feribury lectures given between 1919-1923 are the real starting point of Heidegger' hermeneutics. He has given some reformative consideration to the nature of philosophy at the outset. Philosophy is not a theorized and objectified science. The traditional philosophy is theoretical result of the practical life and it is outside of the life. It makes us describe the life with appropriate language. The real philosophy is a way of revealing the experience of life and it is a primordial, pre-theoretical science. It doesn't and can't presuppose the object-subject. It is self- understanding and the explanation of life in its Natural state. In this kind of thought background, Heidegger has found a methodical basis to reveal real life------Formal Indication.Formal Indication is different form formalization and generalization, the latter two essentially could not separate form the context of things, while Formal Indication has the characteristic of non- substantialization. It only shows situation of real life, doesn't define its standard content. The definition of Formal Indication cannot be pointed out definitely in the content, but it is concrete and certain in practice. It is not abstract, its non-objectifying and the primary enable it to have the characteristic of direct comprehension. This is phenomenological reduction in original sense, but cannot be separated from the life experience to move towards theorization.In Heidegger's phenomenological hermeneutics, the attitude to life and philosophy and the way of which has used his method decide his studying object------Dasein. Heidegger has changed the slogan of Husser's phenomenology, which is "Back to the phenomenon itself into "Back to life itself". Husser believes that the phenomenology foundation is transcendental consciousness; and his intuition towards transcendental consciousness is introspective. Our consciousness activity accompanies the existence of present experiencing subject, which can inspect our life world effectively. Heidegger believes that this way of inspecting has left out the experience of life that the subject has not been separated form object. He explains the phenomenon as "the thing of indicating by itself rather than "the thing of indicating by us". Dasein forms itself by self-explication. It is not only the subject of explanation, but the object of explanation. But in the actual life, it has to be related with the world, just because only the world can verify the existence of Dasein. So, in order to reveal Dasein itself, Dasein has to explain the world. However, the world called by Heidegger is one whose sense is endowed by Dasein. Then, Dasein is existence of the significant world given by itself while the world is existing because Dasein endows its significance. This paper is divided into three parts:First part: Revealing thought origin of Heidegger's phenomenological hermeneutics. The real philosophy is the primordial, pre-theoretical science, and the world what it enter into is a pre-theoretical world in which the subject has not been separated form object.Second part: Explaining methodical basis of Heidegger' phenomenological hermeneutics------Formal Indication. It is the correct method for us to reveal the living life experience.Third part: Disscussing the thought of substance of Heidegger's phenomenological hermeneutics.Dasein is Being in world.
