A quote from a piece of text given to us by our Modernism seminar leader. The text is written by Martin Heidigger and is entitled 'Poetry, Language, Thought'.
This extract is taken from the chapter, 'Thing and Work'
"What in truth is the thing, so far as it is a thing? When we inquire in this way, our aim is to come to know the thing-being (thingness) of the thing. The point is to discover the thingly chracter of the thing. To this end we have to be aquainted with the sphere to which all those entitites belong which we have long called by the name of thing."
...
Yeah. Me Neither.
