In this paper we reconstruct Heidegger’s approach to the problem of boredom. Based on his lectures entitled The Concept of Time, we conclude that boredom is the result of an improper understanding of time – understanding it in physical categories, where it is a measurable and ever-draining “container”. We then reverse the direction of our inquiry and look into the meticulous analysis of boredom in The Fundamental Concepts of Metaphysics. By specifying three kinds of boredom and its two structural moments – being held in limbo and emptying – we try to get closer to properly understanding the temporality of Dasein.
