ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author asks whether Junger's actual concern is based in a "transformation of saying" and "an altered relationship to the essence of speech". Indeed, Heidegger asks in On the Question of Being whether Junger's concept of language is not conceptualized in such a way that it cannot be identified with the language of the sciences. The chapter discusses the poetic nature of Junger's speech. It closely determines the specific kind of this poetics with the help of some of Heidegger's thoughts about the essence of art. A first reference to the "transformation of saying" in The Worker can be found when one bears in mind that Junger understands the concept of the gestalt from the will to power as art, thus as poetics. The gestalt is first in the poetic naming. The dominion of the gestalt is already essentially realized, but needs the poetic nature of speech in order to emerge from its anonymous character.
