We do not know what thinking is: Five Heideggerian statements
Briefly

We do not know what thinking is: Five Heideggerian statements
""We do not know what thinking is. But we do know when we are not thinking.""
""Only when man speaks, does he think - and not the other way around.""
""Any kind of polemic fails from the outset to assume the attitude of thinking.""
""Thinking can stand in itself because it is in no way contingent upon the dialectic.""
Heidegger challenges our understanding of thinking, suggesting that we must first recognize when we are not thinking to truly engage in the activity of thinking. He posits that thinking is an activity that requires reflection and awareness. By avoiding the habit of not thinking, individuals can open themselves to the process of learning to think. Heidegger's approach invites a deeper exploration of the nature of thinking, asserting that true thought emerges through speech and is independent of dialectical reasoning.
