The silence of the origin: Philosophy in transition and the essence of thinking
Keane, Niall
Authors
Abstract
This article pursues Heidegger's protracted engagement with the question of silent origins. First, I explore the so-called transitional thinking grounded in the fundamental attunement of reticence as it is put forward in the Beiträge zur Philosophie. Second, I consider the complex matter of Heidegger's reference to the intimate, yet distinct, roles of poetry and thinking when it comes to articulating a response to the attunement of reticence. I then move to explain what is at stake in Heidegger's engagement with Hölderlin on the nature of language, silence, and listening. This latter task involves analyzing Heidegger's contention that Hölderlin's poetic thought is both philosophically exemplary and futural. Finally, since I take Heidegger's interpretation of Hölderlin to be a critical appropriation, we must assess the coherence of his redeployment of Hölderlin's thought models, especially, I will claim, his appropriation of the halfgods. © 2013 Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden.
