"Poeticizing and Thinking", Reflections on Martin Heidegger

Abstract

As we read on, this article reveals its own numerical truth: that it represents both a philosophical meditation and an act of poetry. Its conceptual relevance and stylistic value—in the literary and more generally theoretical sense of the term—are expressed in two clearly articulated registers: 1) The interpretation of the analitics of Dasein and the internal mutation of fundamental ontology according to the thinking of Dichtung. 2) The lived understanding, in Dilthey's sense, of the poetic Dire from the perspective of poetry understood as the diction of Being, whether prior to or subsequent to the famous turning point in Heidegger's thinking. Developed from Heideggerian categories, the free play of this meditation, far from exposing itself to the hindrance of categorical skepticism, indicates the possibilities of its own theoretical openness towards an autonomous thought on the relationship between philosophical thought and literature.
