More quotes by Martin Heidegger
Dwelling is not primarily inhabiting but taking care of and creating that space within which something comes into its own and flourishes.
Martin Heidegger
Understanding of being is itself a determination of being of Da-sein.
Martin Heidegger
If in Nietzsche's thinking the prior tradition of Western thought is gathered and completed in a decisive respect, then the confrontation with Nietzsche becomes one with all Western thought hitherto.
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
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
A giving which gives only its gift, but in the giving holds itself back and withdraws, such a giving we call sending.
Martin Heidegger
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
Time-space as commonly understood, in the sense of the distance measured between two time-points, is the result of time calculation.
Martin Heidegger
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
The human body is essentially something other than an animal organism.
Martin Heidegger
The German language speaks Being, while all the others merely speak of Being.
Martin Heidegger
We name time when we say: every thing has its time. This means: everything which actually is, every being comes and goes at the right time and remains for a time during the time allotted to it. Every thing has its time.
Martin Heidegger
Anyone can achieve their fullest potential, who we are might be predetermined, but the path we follow is always of our own choosing. We should never allow our fears or the expectations of others to set the frontiers of our destiny. Your destiny can't be changed but, it can be challenged. Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one.
Martin Heidegger
Being-alone is a deficient mode of being-with its possibility is a proof for the latter.
Martin Heidegger
Man acts as though he were the shaper and master of language, while in fact language remains the master of man.
Martin Heidegger
Being is only Being for Dasein.
Martin Heidegger
Transcendence constitutes selfhood.
Martin Heidegger
But what is great can only begin great.
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
So long as we represent technology as an instrument, we remain held fast in the will to master it.
Martin Heidegger
