Indefinite Human?

"Technological culture dehumanizes because it rests overly secure in its conception or definition of the human."

Carlson on Heidegger

(Is this what it means to be a man?)

Rainy nights

"Longing is the agony of the nearness of the distant."  Heidegger

Heidegger on Being and Faith

If I were to write a theology - to which I sometimes feel inclined - then the word Being would not occur in it.  Faith does not need the thought of Being.

Apophasis

The question concerns neither dogmatics nor any articles of faith.  The question is simply, whether God has fled from us or not, and whether we are still able to experience this flight truly and creatively. 

Heidegger, 1937/38.

Beyond the foothills

"In contrast to a steady progress, where we move unawares from one thing to the next and everything remains alike, the leap takes us abruptly to where everything is different, so different that it strikes us as strange.  Abrupt means the sudden sheer descent or rise that marks the chasm's edge.  Though we may not founder in such a leap, what the leap takes us to will confound us."
