 Martin Heidegger [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
His preoccupation with the question of language and his fascination with poetry were expressed in lectures on Hörderlin which he gave between 1934 and 1936.
In accordance with the phenomenological method of philosophy which he employs, before attempting to provide an answer to the question of being in general, Heidegger ventures to answer the question of being of the particular kind of entity which is the human being - Dasein.
Heidegger argues that the question of being would still provide a stimulus to researches of Plato and Aristotle, but it was precisely with them that the original experience of being of the early Greeks was covered over.
