ABSTRACT
From a Heideggerian perspective, the various styles of writing presented in this chapter reveal the particular strategies available to the modern world-view. Heidegger's philosophical path of thought was a consistent response to the Question of Being. For him, this question should always be distinguished from questions about individual beings or groups of entities. Everything that is partakes of Being, but Being itself is not to be thought of as an entity. As such, the Question Being cannot be tackled in the same way as a question about a thing. Indeed, it is a question which one can only approach indirectly. The major advantage of this approach is the way this question sheds light on beings. One of the most important insights gained through this approach was Heidegger's evaluation of one's contextual and meaningful relation to equipment. However, his early analysis of everyday human existence also failed to appreciate and embrace the import of raw nature for human world of meaning.
