But how does one, even "one of the few and seldom self-selecting ones,"
authentically say the sway of truth? The truth sways, it would seem, in
the silence of the call of conscience. Can thinking uncover the sway with
any more than a "formal indication" of a certain sort of silent devotion (
hingabe),for attending to the call of being? So the truth about truth that
thinking reveals is distinguished by the way it minimally indicates the
limited possibility for saying anything.
