Heidegger and the Philosophy of Language

Abstract

Philosophical research will have to dispense with the "philosophy of language" if it is to inquire into "the things themselves" and attain the status of a problematic which has been cleared up conceptually. (Heidegger, Being and Time, pp. 209-210.) How curious, that stating is to be a laying. Do we intend with this reference to shake the foundation of all philology and philosophy of language, and to expose them as sham [Schein]? Indeed we do.
