L’elaborato intende approfondire la questione del linguaggio in Heidegger, muovendo dalla critica alla sua riduzione strumentale, nell’orizzonte antropocentrico della tradizione occidentale. Dalla “Lettera sull’Umanismo” emerge la domanda guida: se il linguaggio non è uno strumento a disposizione dell’uomo, che cos’è? Il percorso rintraccia il significato originario di logos nella grecità arcaica, per mostrarne la trasformazione compiuta nel corso della storia del pensiero metafisico, a partire da Platone. Nella sua riflessione matura, Heidegger elabora una concezione del linguaggio come evento originario e “casa dell’essere”, in cui il poeta, con particolare riferimento a Hölderlin, svolge un ruolo privilegiato di custodia. In conclusione, il confronto con Merleau-Ponty (“Fenomenologia della percezione”) apre alla prospettiva di un “dasein” incarnato, per il quale l'esperienza estetico-percettiva diventa il luogo di apertura al mondo. Il linguaggio non si ridurrebbe qui a strumento o etichetta delle cose, ma sarebbe espressione di mondo tramite la corporeità. Le due prospettive complementari confermano dunque la fecondità della domanda: che cosa significa abitare il logos?

Abstract
The work aims to explore the question of language in Heidegger, starting from the critique of its instrumental reduction within the anthropocentric horizon of the Western tradition. The guiding question emerges from the “Letter on Humanism”: if language is not a tool at the disposal of man, what is it? The thesis traces the original meaning of logos in ancient Greece to show its transformation throughout the history of metaphysical thought, starting with Plato. In his mature reflection, Heidegger develops a conception of language as an original event and “house of being,” in which the poet, with particular reference to Hölderlin, plays a privileged role of guardianship. In conclusion, the comparison with Merleau-Ponty (“Phenomenology of Perception”) opens up the perspective of an embodied “dasein”, for which aesthetic-perceptual experience becomes the place of openness to the world. Language would not be reduced here to a tool or label for things, but would be an expression of the world through corporeality. The two complementary perspectives thus confirm the fruitfulness of the question: what does it mean to dwell in language?| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
