Martin Heidegger Quotes
-
Being is an issue for one.
→ -
We would like only, for once, to get to where we are already.
→ -
The possible ranks higher than the actual.
→ -
Being and time determine each other reciprocally, but in such a manner that neither can the former - Being - be addressed as something temporal nor can the latter - time - be addressed as a being.
→ -
I see the situation of man in the world of planetary technicity not as an inexitricable and inescapable destiny, but I see the task of thought precisely in this, that within its own limits it helps man as such achieve a satisfactory relationship to the essence of technicity. National Socialism did indeed go in this direction. Those people, however, were far too poorly equipped for thought to arrive at a really explicit relationship to what is happening today and has been underway for the past 300 years.
→ -
Nietzsche ... does not shy from conscious exaggeration and one-sided formulations of his thought, believing that in this way he can most clearly set in relief what in his vision and in his inquiry is different from the run-of-the-mill.
→ -
Everywhere we remain unfree and chained to technology, whether we passionately affirm or deny it. But we are delivered over to it in the worst possible way when we regard it as something neutral; for this conception of it, to which today we particularly like to do homage, makes us utterly blind to the essence of technology.
→ -
The threat to man does not come in the first instance from the potentially lethal machines and apparatus of technology. The actual threat has already affected man in his essence. The rule of Enframing threatens man with the possibility that it could be denied to him to enter into a more original revealing and hence to experience the call of a more primal truth
→ -
The world, in resting upon the earth, strives to surmount it. As self-opening it cannot endure anything closed. The earth, however, as sheltering and concealing, tends always to draw the world into itself and keep it there
→ -
Is the earth in our head? Or do we stand on the earth?
→ -
In Nietzsche's view nihilism is not a Weltanschauung that occurs at some time and place or another; it is rather the basic character of what happens in Occidental history.
→ -
The will to mastery becomes all the more urgent the more technology threatens to slip from human control
→ -
The relationship between man and space is none other than dwelling, strictly thought and spoken.
→ -
Everyone is the other, and no one is himself. The they, which supplies the answer to the who of everyday Da-sein, is the nobody to whom every Da-sein has always already surrendered itself, in its being-among-one-another.
→ -
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.
→ -
The word "art" does not designate the concept of a mere eventuality; it is a concept of rank.
→ -
So long as we represent technology as an instrument, we remain held fast in the will to master it.
→ -
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.
→ -
The poets are in the vanguard of a changed conception of Being.
→ -
Temporality temporalizes as a future which makes present in the process of having been.
→ -
We ourselves are the entities to be analyzed.
→ -
Dwelling is not primarily inhabiting but taking care of and creating that space within which something comes into its own and flourishes.
→ -
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.
→ -
When modern physics exerts itself to establish the world's formula, what occurs thereby is this: the being of entities has resolved itself into the method of the totally calculable.
→ -
Longing is the agony of the nearness of the distant.
→ -
To dwell is to garden.
→ -
Since time itself is not movement, it must somehow have to do with movement.Time is initially encountered in those entities which are changeable, change is in time. How is time exhibited in this way of encountering it, namely, as that within which things change? Does it here give itself as itself in what it is? Can an axplacation of time starts here guarantee that time will thereby provide as it were the fundamental phenomena that determine it in its own being?
→ -
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.
→ -
We still by no means think decisively enough about the essence of action.
→ -
There is no such thing as an empty word, only one that is worn out yet remains full.
