Heidegger would reject this interpretation totally, since for him "consciousness" is a derivative notion, as is the idea of beings being "outside" some supposed "inside." No one has ever experiencd a "consciousness." BTW in Heidegger's interpretation Aristotle is a fellow-thinker. There is no notion of "consciousness" in Aristotle, or in any other philosopher before around Descartes. There is the soul, but then, "the soul is in a way all things." Heidegger supposedly convinced Husserl after many years that Aristotle had been the first and greatest phenomenologist.
