Features: The only measure for thinking comes from the very thing that awaits thinking. The greatest danger of thinking, however, lies in the fact that, as far as what I see, none of today's thinkers are "great" enough to bring thinking directly and in shaping before the things, and thus to take the path of thinking. — Heidegger
In the contemporary world, people are engrossed in economic success and the implementation of ideologies, which is a global danger. Heidegger helps people realize that humans are not merely objects of manipulation. Through his meditative thinking, his famous inquiry into the meaning of things and the reflective nature of human existence, Heidegger successfully discovered the scales on which past and present people have distinguished historical realities and current practices (the referent). — Richard Wessel
Heidegger is the most influential philosopher of the 20th century and also one of the most important representatives of existentialist philosophy. His book Being and Time, published in 1927, established his position in modern philosophy. In 1933, he faced criticism for his involvement in Nazi politics, and later, his post-war refusal to examine Nazi issues provoked public outrage. His philosophy has influenced generations, shaping renowned philosophers such as Hannah Arendt, Herbert Marcuse, Hans Jonas, and Emmanuel Levinas. As a citizen, Heidegger is insignificant; as a thinker, he is rare. You may disdain Heidegger as a citizen; you may mock Heidegger as a civilian; you may say whatever you like about Heidegger as a private individual; but if you are a thinker, who else should you read but Heidegger? If the reader thinks, they will recognize what is thought and what awaits thought within it. If there is no thinking, then be it citizen, civilian, or private individual—choose freely.
