Abstract
BETANCOURT, William. Saying of the silence: a tribute to Martin Heidegger. Prax. filos. [online]. 2016, n.42, pp.11-32. ISSN 0120-4688.
If I had to say it in one word, I would say that the purpose of these reflections is a tribute. Martin Heidegger devoted his whole life to think, to carry out a task that does not seek to find a definitive and permanent end, somehow, complete in itself. His task is constantly determined by an unshakable will to think and finds its true fulfillment in breaking new ground, to return again and always think in new ways. In his words, it is to ask again beyond the end of each path, to insist on lost paths in ways that do not seem to lead to a way out, and he called with property, Holzswege. However, in his last road, his death, he closed his own possibilities, but at the same time, he is open to us and invites us to explore it through thought. So now I try to link three specific aspects of the thinking work of Heidegger: poetry, philosophy and death; addressing them to the extent that this is suitable for a tribute
