Il dire dell'Essere. Heidegger, linguaggio e fondamento

In this article, through the analysis of some essays of the so-called turning point, I will deal with the status and function of language in Heidegger. My interpretation is based on the following assumptions: 1) Being is the dif- ferential unity between itself “as such” and its historical indexing; 2) language represents the singular instance through which Being “as such” breaks into the domain of its indexing. It is an irruption that occurs in the mortal “act of speech” insofar as it re-says the Saying through a certain kind of circularity; 3) the very fact that the Saying necessarily avails itself of the mortal saying means that this saying decrees the essential groundlessness of both its own and that of the Being that avails itself of it.
