하이데거와 파르메니데스(2) － 하이데거의 서양철학사론 2: 파르메니데스편 Ⅱ －

Abstract

It is well known that Heidegger has paid heavy attention to the Parmenides’ fragments, the so-called ‘didactic poetry’. This article is an attempt to demonstrate as towhy and how Heidegger had come up with the unparalleled interpretations of thefragments with his such rigorous readings. As such I would like to articulate thesignificance of his interpretation of Parmenides deeply embedded in his philosophy ofBeing and Thinking. Under this light, I would like to epitomize the rationale and the ground ofHeidegger’s interpretations by thinking through his arguments in What is calledThinking? with the nine main points as follows:First, according to Heidegger, one may find that Parmenides draws us heavy attentionto the significance of ‘ἐὸν ἔμμεναι’ i.e. ‘Being exists’ in his fragment. Second, for Parmenides the two (Being and exist) show a folded aspect. Third, Parmenides talks about the ‘saying’ as the ‘letting-lie-[the duplicity]-ahead.’Fourth, Parmenides talks about the ‘taking-[the duplicity]-into-the attention’. Fifth, he talks about the primordial corelation of the ‘letting-lie-ahead’ and the‘taking-into-the attention.’ And also the eventual subordination of the latter to theformer. Sixth, he also talks about the unity of Thinking and Being. Seventh, he argues that Being commands Thinking. Eighth, he talks about the ‘entry-into-the-essence’ and ‘being-kept-in-the-essence’ ofall that is said in the fragments. Last, the points mentioned above are the ‘things-to-be-inquired’ that commands us theecht Thinking. In a nutshell, I have demonstrated the truth of Being itself and the primordial unityof Being and Thinking in Heidegger’s interpretations of Parmenides’ fragment.
