Abstract： From the middle and late period of 1920s to the least middle period of 1930s, metaphysics became Heidegger' s central issue of philosophical thinking. Heidegger' s turnaround of metaphysics derived both from the influence of metaphysical trends that thrived during the First World War and after the First World War, and from his giving up the orientation of "philosophical anthropology" brought by "foundation existence" so as to have a concentrated, outandout approach to existence. This turnaround also reflected on his consideration as academic expression modes and personnel aspects. Up to the middle and late period of 1930s, Heidegger had a "new turnaround" of metaphysics, that is, criticizing metaphysics itself, which marked his thoroughly stepping into the late period of thinking.
