Attunement and Transition: Hölderlin and Contributions to Philosophy (From Enowning)

Summary/Abstract: In this essay, I argue that the scope of Heidegger’s dialog withHölderlin in Contributions to Philosophy is wider than has often been acknowledged. Traditionally, accounts of this relation have focused solely on tracingHeidegger’s appropriation of Hölderlin’s “flight and arrival of the gods.” In addition to this theme, the relation between Heidegger’s Hölderlin and the project of Contributions should also be framed in light of the specific understanding of attunement which Heidegger developed in his 1934-35 Hölderlin lecture courses. From the perspective opened by this reading, I bring intoquestion and offer an alternative to a widely accepted interpretation of Contributions’ structural composition.
