The identification of functions is a key component of Heidegger’s ontology because something only properly belongs to the structure of being when it contributes to the performance of an ontological function. Thus, Heidegger explains, structure is “read off” a function (GA1 GA1

In performing a philosophy of history, for example, Heidegger proceeds by asking: “what structure must the concept of time … have in order to be able to function as a concept of time corresponding to the object of this [historical] science? … Study the actual function of the concept of time in the historical sciences and determine its logical structure” (GA1 GA1
