Vincent- Heidegger's On the Way to Language


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.
