and much else that was of interest to me in your recent posts. My more
casual reading of Heidegger's later philosophy suggests that poesis
creates Being through the creation of new metaphors (or metaphorical
applications) which makes a clearing in the darkness by showing us
similarities. How does that fit with your understanding, and, what do you
consider to be the works that are most important in his elaboration of his
philosophy of poesis.
Other posters comments are, of course, welcome as well.
