Being and Time ontologizes cultural-criticism commonplaces rather than founding philosophy anew.

Evidence

Being and Time might be recognized, in the first place, as merely one more futile attempt to provide philosophy with a foundation within itself, and the contents of the work could be described as an ontological certification of concepts that had been commonplaces in cultural criticism from Spengler to Alfred Weber. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 625
