‘My Dear Little Soul’

Heidegger immersed himself in being(s) in order to clear a new meaning—he immersed himself in hyle in search of a new morphe. But this hyle was already shaped by a technique, the logos, except when he went back endlessly to walk in the country paths next his chalet of Todtnauberg. There is no doubt that, by the stays and walks there, he tried to provide himself with a viewpoint on being. However, the heavens of Todtnauberg and those of metaphysics are not quite the same. If the ones still take part in nature, the others are dependent on culture, and they already result from a technique that Heidegger did not detect sufficiently. Whatever the efforts and the 'leaps' through which he attempted to free himself from it, he remained blindly captive to it. Hence his inescapable relation to the poetry of Hölderlin, who endeavours to tell nature, especially that of his country.
