More quotes by Martin Heidegger
Temporality temporalizes as a future which makes present in the process of having been.
Martin Heidegger
Why are there beings at all, instead of Nothing?
Martin Heidegger
Being is only Being for Dasein.
Martin Heidegger
The question concerning technology is the question concerning the constellation in which revealing and concealing, in which the coming to presence of truth, comes to pass
Martin Heidegger
Thus phenomenology means αποφαινεσθαι τα φαινομενα -- to let that which shows itself be seen from itself in the very way in which it shows itself from itself.
Martin Heidegger
We should never allow our fears or the expectations of others to set the frontiers of our destiny.
Martin Heidegger
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
Only if we are capable of dwelling, only then can we build
Martin Heidegger
So long as we represent technology as an instrument, we remain held fast in the will to master it.
Martin Heidegger
Philosophy will not be able to effect an immediate transformation of the present condition of the world. This is not only true of philosophy, but of all merely human thought and endeavor.
Martin Heidegger
What is peddled about nowadays as philosophy, especially that of N.S. [National Socialism], but has nothing to do with the inner truth and greatness of that movement [namely the encounter between global technology and modern humanity] is nothing but fishing in that troubled sea of values and totalities.
Martin Heidegger
The domination of the public way in which things have been interpreted has already decided upon even the possibilities of being attuned, that is, about the basic way in which Da-sein lets itself be affected by the world. The they prescribes that attunement, it determines what and how one sees.
Martin Heidegger
The possible ranks higher than the actual.
Martin Heidegger
Only where leader and led together bind each other in one destiny ... does true order grow.
Martin Heidegger
Thinking begins only when we have come to know that reason, glorified for centuries, is the stiff-necked adversary of thought.
Martin Heidegger
True time is four-dimensional.
Martin Heidegger
We ourselves are the entities to be analyzed.
Martin Heidegger
In order to remain silent Da-sein must have something to say.
Martin Heidegger
Time is not a thing, thus nothing which is, and yet it remains constant in its passing away without being something temporal like the beings in time.
Martin Heidegger
In everything well known something worthy of thought still lurks.
Martin Heidegger
