如何阅读海德格尔

How to Read Heidegger

海德格尔的思想路径可以根据三个相继出现的引导词来追踪:存在的意义、存在的真理和存在的地形学,一般认为,阅读他的作品时要分两个步骤——从"存在的意义"到"存在的真理";然后是"存在的地形学"——每一次都将他的思想更切近地带入到对开端的居有上。但如果唯独地形学提供了足以接近海德格尔从一开始就持续追问的唯一问题——存在问题的话,那么显然,他的作品需要倒退着阅读,而不是正序阅读。

Heidegger's itinerary has been traced by three successive guiding words: meaning of being,truth of being,and topology of being. In a general way,he suggests that the two steps taken during the course of his writings—from'the sense of being'to'the truth of being',and then to the'topology of being'—brought his thinking closer,each time,to the appropriate starting point. But if the topology alone,provides the adequate access to the one question Heidegger kept pursing from the start,the question of being,then it is obvious that his works should be read backwards,not forwards.
