Gadamer I 266
History/Heidegger/Gadamer: (...) that we only make history insofar as we are ourselves, means that the historicity of human existence in all its movement of the present and of forgetting is the condition for us to be able to present what has been. What at first seemed to be only a barrier that impaired the conventional concept of science and method, or a subjective condition of access to historical knowledge, is now moving into the centre of a fundamental question. This is not a condition for the original meaning of historical interest, because the choice of topic and question are subject to non-scientific, subjective motivations (...), but because belonging to traditions is just as originally and essentially part of the historical finiteness of existence ("Dasein") as its being designed for future possibilities of itself.

Figal I 172
History/Heidegger: its openness can be experienced through the poetical opening in Hölderlin. Thus Heidegger returns to Aristotle: the withdrawal of philosophy into "practical knowledge." "Thinking" instead of philosophy.
>Thinking, >Philosophy, >Knowledge, >Aristotle.
