Heidegger's Reflection On Humanism

Heidegger thinks, humanism is always about human nature or humanity, every humanism is either grounded in a metaphysics or is itself made to be the ground of one. Essential characteristic of metaphysics is the forgetfulness to Being, which is determined by the object thinking mode of representation. The metaphysics characteristic of humanism determines the comprehension and understanding to human, human is defined as the ready-made beings. This kind of comprehension to human is at the cost of the forgetfulness to the nature and Being of human,which leads to the forgetting to the thing and the world, and brings human into the deep predicament. Human has lost the foundation of Being and been uprooted, homelessness has become human's destiny.In order to save human from homeless destiny, heidegger reflected on the humanism and finished a step back. It is to awaken from the forgetfulness to man's being, to draw out from the object thinking mode of representation, and to "experience" another possibility of thinking and speaking. This kind of thinking and speaking is not object, that's to say, it is a kind of pure thinking and pure speaking. Pure thinking and speaking takes on the responsibility of man's being, thinks man's being, brings to man's being nearby, puts the human into the truth of Being, and makes human take a shower of the clear and bright glory of Being, from which human obtains the nature.Human nature is existence. Human gets the nature, which, at the same time, is also the process to save the thing and the world. The thing and the world are no longer interpreted as the object that can be conquered by human, thing things and world worlds. Human, at the time of maintaining and caring the thing things and the world worlds, gets dwelling of human poetically.
