On the Essence of Language and the Question of Art by Martin Heidegger
For over thirty-five years, Robert has seized every opportunity life has presented him with to explore the nature of reality and consciousness. The insights and learnings he has gained are offered here as a kind of 'user's manual' for life: a reminder for the soul who has got lost in the world of appearances and 'forgotten' what this life is all about. Starting from the classic question of self-enquiry, Who am I?, Robert guides the reader through a poetic exploration of what it actually means to be alive, here and now, in a body. The book addresses the spiritual seeker personally, and wears its metaphysical understanding lightly as it brings alive the mysterious wonder of the co-created universe and the surprising part we play in its ongoing manifestation. Warning: you may find yourself drawn into a state of expanded awareness in which time and space disappear and you become conscious of yourself as a living miracle, as a cosmic dancer"This volume invites us to follow Heidegger as he thinks on paper and to join in his explorations of being, language, and artAdam Knowles' thoughtful translation conveys the dogged inventiveness of these texts."
—Richard Polt, Xavier University
"These starkly polysemic notes on language, poetry, and art dramatically elaborate Heidegger's later phenomenological understanding of how poetry gives rise to both art and language, how that emergence gets disastrously eclipsed and forgotten by Western metaphysics, and what it means to rediscover being's poetic emergence today. Here Heidegger finally thinks clearly through the distinction between 'the being of entities' (or 'beingness,' the domain of metaphysics) and 'beyng' (or 'being as such,' the heart of the matter for poetic thinking), that crucial distinction which both destroys the early 'metaphysical' project of Being and Time and launches his later work of thinking beyond metaphysics (and the nihilistic history metaphysics underwrites)."
—Professor Iain Thomson, University of New Mexico
