More quotes by Martin Heidegger

Image
The senses do not enable us to cognize any entity in its Being they merely serve to announce the ways in which 'external' Things within-the-world are useful or harmful for human creatures encumbered with bodies....they tell us nothing about entities in their Being.
Martin Heidegger
Image
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
Image
We still by no means think decisively enough about the essence of action.
Martin Heidegger
Image
But what is great can only begin great.
Martin Heidegger
Image
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
Image
Why are there beings at all, instead of Nothing?
Martin Heidegger
Image
How one encounters reality is a choice.
Martin Heidegger
Image
We make a space inside ourselves, so that being can speak.
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
Dwelling is not primarily inhabiting but taking care of and creating that space within which something comes into its own and flourishes.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Being-alone is a deficient mode of being-with its possibility is a proof for the latter.
Martin Heidegger
Image
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
Image
Making itself intelligible is suicide for philosophy.
Martin Heidegger
Image
The human body is essentially something other than an animal organism.
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
The small are always dependent on the great they are small precisely because they think they are independent. The great thinker is one who can hear what is greatest in the work of other greats and who can transform it in an original manner.
Martin Heidegger
Image
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
Image
Agriculture is now a motorized food industry, the same thing in its essence as the production of corpses in the gas chambers and the extermination camps, the same thing as blockades and the reduction of countries to famine, the same thing as the manufacture of hydrogen bombs.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Man acts as though he were the shaper and master of language, while in fact language remains the master of man.
Martin Heidegger
Image
We do not have a body rather, we are bodily.
Martin Heidegger
