Abstract

Numerous contemporary philosophers have found inspiration in Heidegger's body of work, incorporating his ideas into their own philosophical reflections. Consequently, a comprehensive examination of Heidegger's perspectives and intellectual framework reveals these influences, notably demarcated by the distinction between calculative thinking and disclosure thinking. Employing an analytic approach, this article delves into Heidegger's oeuvre, where he delineates philosophies concerned with existence as opposed to those focused on existents, often neglecting existence itself. It explicates his portrayal of humans as beings summoned by existence, embarking on a journey of inquiry and questioning. Heidegger perceives himself in a state of anticipation, awaiting the summons of existence. As elucidated, Heidegger espouses an alternative form of thinking, one achieved through a liberating process wherein individuals traverse arduous paths of contemplation to unveil reality as a mode of disclosure and revelation. The articulation of these discoveries is expressed through a poetic language. From this standpoint, existence establishes a profound connection with spiritual thinking, finding its dwelling in language as the very abode of existence. Notably, Heidegger himself intuits a spark of reality within this framework.
