Heidegger and the longing for a poetic dwelling

Abstract
This paper oposes the greek sense of ethos: ‘dwelling place’, ‘open inhabiting domain’, with a space conceived as a calculated and useful device (Gestell), where the Being cannot be redeemed. Heidegger’s later texts present a negative ethics, in tune with the epoch, related to concepts such as technique, deprivation, fall. Dwelling is not feasible in supermarkets, or sacred mountains turned into tourist venues. For Derrida this constitutes ‘Humanist Teleology’. The poet creates the topology for the ‘being-in-the-world’ (Dasein), a dwelling with historic sense for the being to inhabit. He also opens up the inhabiting to the ‘Quaternary’ (Das Geviert) where earth, and the heavens; mortals and divinities dwell. The divine is a persistent ‘going past’ that which is encountered in the quiet and simplicity of the country road.
