(2018) Heidegger's poetic projection of being, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.

Founding and grounding

Marius Johan Geertsema

pp. 175-184

Heidegger often quotes from Hölderlin's poem Remembrance: "But what remains is founded by the poets." Poetry is the founding of that which remains, as the founding of Being in the word. Grounding is associated with the way the present takes shape, while founding is associated with the historical opening up of the human perspective in order to let entities first become present to Dasein, by means of which they, arriving from the possible, can first occur and become grounded in the present. Every whence and whereto transcend the present and must first be opened up and founded.
