The word "art" does not designate the concept of a mere eventuality; it is a concept of rank. Martin Heidegger More Quotes by Martin Heidegger More Quotes From Martin Heidegger From our human experience and history, at least as far as I am informed, I know that everything essential and great has only emerged when human beings had a home and were rooted in a tradition. Today's literature is, for instance, largely destructive. Martin Heidegger essentialsliteraturehome I see the situation of man in the world of planetary technicity not as an inexitricable and inescapable destiny, but I see the task of thought precisely in this, that within its own limits it helps man as such achieve a satisfactory relationship to the essence of technicity. National Socialism did indeed go in this direction. Those people, however, were far too poorly equipped for thought to arrive at a really explicit relationship to what is happening today and has been underway for the past 300 years. Martin Heidegger destinymenpast Why are there beings at all, instead of Nothing? Martin Heidegger existentialismphilosophicalphilosophy And so man, as existing transcendence abounding in and surpassing toward possibilities, is a creature of distance. Only through the primordial distances he establishes toward all being in his transcendence does a true nearness to things flourish in him. Martin Heidegger distancedoemen To be a poet in a destitute time means: to attend, singing, to the trace of the fugitive gods. This is why the poet in the time of the world's night utters the holy. Martin Heidegger singingnightmean Body', 'soul', and 'spirit' may designate phenomenal domains which can be detached as themes for definite investigations; within certain limits their ontological indefiniteness may not be important. When, however, we come to the question of man's Being, this is not something we can simply compute by adding together those kinds of Being which body, soul, and spirit respectively possess--kinds of being whose nature has not as yet been determined. And even if we should attempt such an ontological procedure, some idea of the Being of the whole must be presupposed. Martin Heidegger soulmenideas We do not "have" a body; rather, we "are" bodily. Martin Heidegger body We make a space inside ourselves, so that being can speak. Martin Heidegger spacespeak Pessimism negates the existing world. Yet its negating is ambiguous. It can simply will decay and nothingness, but it can also renounce what exists and thus open a path for a new formation of the world. Martin Heidegger decaypathworld The world worlds, and is more fully in being than the tangible and perceptible realm in which we believe ourselves to be at home...By the opening up of a world, all things gain their lingering and hastening, their remoteness and nearness, their scope and limits. In a world's worlding is gathered that spaciousness out of which the protective grace of the gods is granted and withheld. Even this doom of the god remaining absent is a way in which the world worlds...All coming to presence...keeps itself concealed to the last. Martin Heidegger opening-uphomebelieve We ourselves are the entities to be analyzed. Martin Heidegger entityscience truth is that which makes a people certain, clear, and strong. Martin Heidegger truth-isstrongpeople Questions are not happenstance thoughts nor are questions common problems of today which one picks up from hearsay and booklearning and decks out with a gesture of profundity questions grow out of confrontation with the subject matter and the subject matter is there only where eyes are, it is in this manner that questions will be posed and all the more considering that questions that have today fallen out of fashion in the great industry of problems. One stands up for nothing more than the normal running of the industry. Philosophy interprets its corruption as the resurrection of metaphysics. Martin Heidegger fashionrunningphilosophy We would like only, for once, to get to where we are already. Martin Heidegger home True time is four-dimensional. Martin Heidegger philosophicalfour Agriculture is now a motorized food industry, the same thing in its essence as the production of corpses in the gas chambers and the extermination camps, the same thing as blockades and the reduction of countries to famine, the same thing as the manufacture of hydrogen bombs. Martin Heidegger agricultureessencecountry The German language speaks Being, while all the others merely speak of Being.
