ABSTRACT
Heidegger's remark on Wittgenstein comes almost forty years later, in one of Heidegger's very last seminars, the last of three seminars the aging philosopher held in Le Thor, France. In particular, the author discusses two remarks, one by Wittgenstein on Heidegger, and the other by Heidegger on Wittgenstein. He begin with the remark by Wittgenstein on Heidegger. This is a tale of two readings, and of a non-encounter: the missed encounter between two philosophers whose legacy, as has been noted, might jointly define the scope of problems and questions left open for philosophy today. Thus distinguished from the characteristic twentieth-century pathos of the human agentive subject of meaning and the constitutive anxiety of its nullification within a senselessly plural being, one task of twenty-first-century philosophy might then be to locate forms and structures of sense, in their original givenness, at the problematic limit of the world itself.
