"breaks" by Martin Heidegger: Pre-2008 texts
On his first trip to Greece, Heidegger envisioned (saw), not just what he stands at the center of the Greek experience which in turn opens the possibility the Western world - namely, "the uniqueness of unconcealment (desescondimiento) and occult (hidden)" (p. 36) - but also the huge gap between the world and modern man that his origin. I said, referring in the first instance to those Greeks, saying it "knew celebrate the great and high to recognize and establish a world", while we, humans today seem as removed from that home, lost in the chain of planning calculator. "And then adds that even those people" happy and calm "for which he and his companions crossed," got completely dispel these gloomy thoughts, which were laid before the recognition of the growing desolation of modern existence "(p. 44). Heidegger got his stay in Greece originally, treading the same ground, only away from the modern world (of noisy tourists," American hotels ", the" construction new bad taste ", etc..) of this world in which nobody really seems to is , which is not possible to live and meet, let alone listen to the silence that Heidegger wanted to meet, and here I paraphrase: the gods who have fled, and in doing so have left the desolation of men dwelling in the void of their works, and their actions vanity (p. 13).
