Al lembo estremo dell’esistenza. Un cammino con Martin Heidegger e Stefan George

At the extreme edge of existence. A Path with Martin Heidegger and Stefan George The essay deals with Stefan George’s poem Das Wort, commented by Heidegger in Unterwegs zur Sprache. More than a reconstruction of Heidegger’s interpretation or a his storiographical examination of the relationship between the Thinker and the Poet, it is an existential rereading of the intuitions opened up by this dialogue. In parallel with the experience of poetry and the dimension of living, the article wonders if and how we can really have the habitus of a poetic existence, and what are the consequences of this choice, compared to the way we see and live our affectivity, our dialogues, interpersonal relation ships and in particular the dualities of love and friendship.
