On the poetic image: Intimacy, being and harmony in the Hei-deggerian interpretation of Hölderlin's hymns.

Abstract

Section 10 of Heidegger's study on Hölderlin's hymns "Germania" and "The Rhine" (2010), aims at exposing the initial thought supported by Hölderlin's poem "Germania" on the hermeneutical horizon opened by fragments of Heraclitus; this is possible, through the dynamic unfolding between intimacy, being and harmony, at least as presented by the German philosopher. The secret of being is preserved and revealed the poetic image. Here, there is a connection in these three thinkers, without losing sight of the hermeneutical pitfalls that take place. This paper is about the intimacy as poetic image in Hölderlin, the configuration of being in Heidegger's initial thought and the allusion to har-mony in the fragments attributed to Heraclitus. Putting these concepts very closely together, is possible also show its coincidences and its disagreements.
