Unlike Seeing, Where One Can Look Away,

For Both Art And The Historical Sciences Are Ways Of Experiencing In Which Our Own Understanding Of Existence Is Immediately Brought Into Play.

Unlike Seeing, Where One Can Look Away, One Cannot 'hear Away' But Must Listen ... Hearing Implies Already Belonging Together In Such A Manner That One Is Claimed By What Is Being Said.

The Real Being Of Language Is That Into Which We Are Taken Up When We Hear It - What Is Said.

What Man Needs Is Not Just The Persistent Posing Of Ultimate Questions, But The Sense Of What Is Feasible, What Is Possible, What Is Correct, Here And Now. The Philosopher, Of All People, Must, I Think, Be Aware Of The Tension Between What He Claims To Achieve And The Reality In Which He Finds Himself.

Nothing Exists Except Through Language.
