Image
We ourselves are the entities to be analyzed.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Dasein is a being that does not simply occur among other beings. Rather it is ontically distinguished by the fact that in its being this being is concerned about its very being. Thus it is constitutive of the being of Dasein to have, in its very being, a relation of being to this being.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Only if we are capable of dwelling, only then can we build
Martin Heidegger
Image
Only where leader and led together bind each other in one destiny ... does true order grow.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Whatever can be noted historically can be found within history.
Martin Heidegger
Image
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
Image
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
Image
This characteristic of Dasein's being this that it is is veiled in its whence and whither.
Martin Heidegger
Image
In order to remain silent Da-sein must have something to say.
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
So long as we represent technology as an instrument, we remain held fast in the will to master it.
Martin Heidegger
Image
We make a space inside ourselves, so that being can speak.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Thinking begins only when we have come to know that reason, glorified for centuries, is the stiff-necked adversary of thought.
Martin Heidegger
Image
The human being is not the lord of beings, but the shepherd of Being.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Is the earth in our head? Or do we stand on the earth?
Martin Heidegger
Image
Form displays the relation [to beings] itself as the state of original comportment toward beings, the festive state in which the being itself in its essence is celebrated and thus for the first time placed in the open.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Understanding of being is itself a determination of being of Da-sein.
Martin Heidegger
Image
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
Image
Time-space as commonly understood, in the sense of the distance measured between two time-points, is the result of time calculation.
Martin Heidegger
