摘要：According to contemporary philosophical commentators, the significance of Heidegger’s later philosophy — at least when it is considered in broad historical terms — is a consequence of its inauguration of an entirely new way of understanding the significance of the classical, post- Parmenidian, Western philosophical tradition and the modes of thinking with which it has become traditionally associated. In ‘orthodox’ accounts, Heidegger’s purported ‘radical re-conceptualisation’ of this philosophical tradition is seen as demanding a new form of ‘historical attunement’ that allows the contemporary philosopher both to inhabit and reform philosophy’s original pre-Socratic appearance.1 Here, the overall importance of the later Heidegger’s philosophical reflections is discerned in its facilitation of a return to ‘Greek primordiality’ and in its outright rejection of modern philosophical theses based upon the incorrigible certainties of the self-founding modern subject. To this extent, Heidegger is typically viewed as the quintessential ‘countermodern’ philosopher who paved the way for the turns to poetic language and the problematics of ontological difference that dominated so called‘continental philosophy’ and its academic spheres of influence in the latter half of the twentieth century.
