Return To The Origin Of Thought

Late Heidegger’s academic focus turns from Dasein to Ereignis,to a kind of thinking towards some unusual concepts such as Ge-stell,Dichtung and Dwelling,which is closely related to human life itself.He complicates his transformation in paradigm through the metaphysical language to the poetic language,that is,transferring his theory from objective philosophical research to original Greek thinking.Thinking,as a hidden path,runs through his late thought.He believes that "thinking" is a key to solving the Western metaphysical problems,and people have not yet learned how to think.But Heidegger has never stated what he thought of "thinking",he never gave it a clear conception.He just made a lot of negative statements to clarify what doesn’t belong to thinking,intending to explain what thinking is in a negative way.This unsuspecting attitude makes a series of concepts in late Heidegger such as "Logos","Aletheia","Ereignis" extremely obvious and confusing.If we directly study Heidegger’s works regardless of his academic background,these concepts at first glance will be mysterious and elusive;if we use the Chinese Taoist thought to interpret Heidegger directly,it will be easy to distort his intention.There is an another way to understand Heidegger other than thinking from Dasein to Ereignis,a way hidden in late Heidegger: the way return to ancient Greek.Heidegger’s emphasis on ancient Greek philosophy and epistemological research in his later philosophical thought occupies an extremely important position,he believes that all the roots of philosophy lie in the ancient Greek,so it can be said that Heidegger is “filled with Greek”.However,the Greek in late Heidegger is far different from the usual understanding of Greek in philosophy scholars.He is not intending to give the ancient Greek philosophy an elegant interpretation,what he wants to do is to "reanalysis." So why does Heidegger attached so much importance to ancient Greek?What kind of sense does his interpretation of Greek philosophy make? Why does he applied an epistemological method to analysis the transition of meaning in conception such as “Existence”,”truth”,”Logos”? To explore the source of the ancient Greek thought is a very important part of the late Heidegger’s philosophy,and the Greek is a foundation and guidance of his late theory.In addition,the study is not only important for understanding late Heidegger,but also of great value for studying Greek philosophy,solving the current social dilemma,and returning to the origin of human thought.
