Philosophy and style. Meditations on Martin Heidegger's path of thinking

Abstract

The present article seeks to expose the implicit relation that keeps for Martin Heidegger philosophy and style from the idea of path. In the first place, the affective dispositional character of Dasein will be highlighted as the first radically different impulse to rethink the idea of human being until that moment primed by the history of metaphysics. Secondly, it will explore the author's statement «My lessons are forest paths» as the guiding thread of his idea of philosophy and the way in which his thought will take a direction and a style of its own. Thirdly, the correlation between philosophical thought and style will be developed, as the only possibility in which poetic language can name the ineffable of philosophy.
