While looking up theories for my
final paper I was suggested to look at Heidegger’s book On the Way to Language. It sounded quite complicated to me when I
first heard it and indeed it was when I first read it. And the second, third
fourth, so on and so forth. I had a lot of problems working through it before I
decided it wasn’t for me. He seemed
to be constructing a theory of language
as the very nature of being because of his famous phrase “Language is the house
of Being.” But
how can Language be the house of Being? This sort of reading left me with more
questions than answers, but perhaps that is for the best.
