Heidegger - Language is the house of Being

Language is the house of Being. In its home man dwells. Those who believe and those who create with words are the custodians of this house. "- Martin Heidegger, German philosopher, Letter on Humanism, 1947.

The philosopher José Ortega y Gasset once said that the man had no nature, only history. While I respect this opinion, I believe that man is the true nature of human language. Just as the passage of a Lesser God Prometheus fire on the people who made a great God, a great blessing for humanity:Language.

After years of pondering what Heidegger meant by "Language is the house of being," I finally realized (as I saw the news in catatrophic) that Heidegger's language is meant not only a construct, a shelter, a building , an apartment, but the soul of humanity - case of infinity.

Through language we are looking for heaven and earth, through language that we accept or reject God, through the language that we accept or reject "absolute", the leader of the human race.

EYes, it is only through language that we experience the aesthetic bliss - and love. Even if happiness and love are more on the emotional life, the internal organs of the central nervous system, the body can only partially expressed happiness and love. The language is essential, or if not, try to say that painters, poets and writers.

Take Trollope (Pendennis in History): 'It's better to love wisely, no doubt, but love is more stupid than not being able to love at all. " And he continued to Trollopeto the library shelves full of language and love.

We think and feel, with the help of words. Even if the words and clever enough to feel like we are still thinking to realize that even our deepest feelings must be translated into words to express what we feel. If we immerse ourselves in a good book, and we feel for the characters: Don Quixote and Sancho, we discover the true meaning of friendship, the feeling of Anna Karenina and Aschenbach, we the exquisite agonies of deeply troubledAnime with Remedios the Beauty, we get to heaven.

We do not have the language of science? It is not the language of ship models, axioms, equations, formulas and paradigms? Wisdom is achieved without language?

Even the most recalcitrant atheist or nihilist need a language in order to disprove the existence of God, God Himself, the gift of speech.

When people in a language, they are never homeless. Even if their houses burn - as we saw the flames destroyThousands of homes in San Diego, California - his spirit, his humanity survives in the house of Being - Infinity.
