On The Way To The Home Of Being

Heidegger has taken a sharp turn to language since 1930s, which is not only a subjective event, but also betokens a turn and transition from a traditional linguistic point of view to an existential one and plays a key role in the forming of linguistic point of view in philosophical hermeneutics and deconstructionism.Phenomenology and hermeneutics are two fundamental elements in Heidegger's early philosophy. Later, he renounces the conception of hermeneutics and the term of phenomenology also disappears in his thoughts. However, in fact, Heidegger's linguistic turn neither discards phenomenology nor denies hermeneutics; on the contrary, it moves forward their basic questions thoroughly.Based on the background of his era, this text tries to give an explanation to Heidegger's linguistic turn from phenomenological and hermeneutical angles and analyze its influence. The thesis consists of three sections. The first is: a meditation on history and reality—the background of Heidegger's linguistic turn. The second is: revealing and interpreting—a phenomenological and hermeneutical explanation to Heidegger's linguistic turn. The third is: the forming of linguistic point of view in philosophical hermeneutics and deconstructionism—the influence of Heidegger's linguistic turn.
