More quotes by Martin Heidegger
In order to remain silent Da-sein must have something to say.
Martin Heidegger
In everything well known something worthy of thought still lurks.
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
Understanding of being is itself a determination of being of Da-sein.
Martin Heidegger
Being-alone is a deficient mode of being-with its possibility is a proof for the latter.
Martin Heidegger
Making itself intelligible is suicide for philosophy.
Martin Heidegger
Is the earth in our head? Or do we stand on the earth?
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
In no way can it be uttered, as can other things, which one can learn. Rather, from out of a full, co-existential dwelling with the thing itself - as when a spark, leaping from the fire, flares into light - so it happens, suddenly, in the soul, there to grow, alone with itself.
Martin Heidegger
Tell me how you read and I'll tell you who you are.
Martin Heidegger
Temporality temporalizes as a future which makes present in the process of having been.
Martin Heidegger
We ourselves are the entities to be analyzed.
Martin Heidegger
How one encounters reality is a choice.
Martin Heidegger
Why are there beings at all, instead of Nothing?
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
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
The critique of the highest values hitherto does not simply refute them or declare them invalid. It is rather a matter of displaying their origins as impositions which must affirm precisely what ought to be negated by the values established.
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
The human body is essentially something other than an animal organism.
Martin Heidegger
So long as we represent technology as an instrument, we remain held fast in the will to master it.
Martin Heidegger
