ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book discusses Heidegger's thinking after the Turn, and the guiding word (Leitwort) for Heidegger after 1936 is a word which plays a prominent role in the readings as well, namely, the, in truth, untranslatable word Ereignis. Readings of Heidegger that move toward a renewed interpretation of literature and poetry must take into account that in the humanities. As related to the thoughts regarding Heidegger, postmodernism, and deconstruction, it is noted that Fried interprets Heidegger as a "radical historicist". It is possible to engage Heidegger's philosophy in a legitimate and productive manner without focusing on any political implications. Although Heidegger talks of the Volk submitting to the "power of the beginning" (31), of their spiritual and physical struggle to claim their history, this is not to indicate "resolute openness" (Entschlossenheit) or "releasement" (Gelassenheit) toward their approaching destiny.
