ABSTRACT
Thinking is not a means to gain knowledge. Thinking cuts furrows in the soil of Being. About 1875, Nietzsche once wrote (Grossoktav WW XI, 20): ‘Our thinking should have a vigorous fragrance, like a wheatfield on a summer's night.’ How many of us today still have the senses for that fragrance? (Heidegger, 1971, p. 70)
