Martin Heidegger
Image
We make a space inside ourselves, so that being can speak.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Temporality temporalizes as a future which makes present in the process of having been.
Martin Heidegger
Image
The Fuhrer alone is the present and future German reality and its law. Learn to know ever more deeply: from now on every single thing demands decision, and every action responsibility.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Being is only Being for Dasein.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Technology is therefore no mere means. Technology is a way of revealing. If we give heed to this, then another whole realm for the essence of technology will open itself up to us. It is the realm of revealing, i.e., of truth
Martin Heidegger
Image
We ourselves are the entities to be analyzed.
Martin Heidegger
