With the recent publication of works from Heidegger's Collected
Edition, it has become evident that language occupied a central
place in his thought "from early on," as he claimed in his later
years. Heidegger's Path to Language takes on the timely task of
guiding us through the development of his reflections on language
from his younger years as a doctoral student to the later period of
being-historical thinking. Wanda Torres Gregory argues that
Heidegger continually pursued the question concerning the essence
of language in what he later called his "background" discussions.
She proposes that the clue lies in his often implicit use of
Aristotle's definition of logos-in terms of apophansis, synthesis,
and phone-as the guideword for his thoughts on language. Torres
Gregory uncovers three different stages of this buried path of
logos that she correlates with his key philosophical principles at
each step: the ideal of a pure logic, the existential analytic in
the project of fundamental ontology, and the meditations on the
appropriating-event. Her analysis of the constants and changes in
Heidegger's way to language via logos continues with a systematic
comparison of his different answers to age-old philosophical
problems concerning how language relates to reality, thought,
meaning, and truth. Torres Gregory concludes with a critique that
unveils the later Heidegger's dogmas and inconsistencies and
challenges his concept of the mysterious language of Er-eignis with
an alternative (bio-linguistic) model of its appropriating force.
Heidegger's Path to Language contributes to the scholarship in
Heidegger, continental philosophy, philosophy of language,
comparative literature, German studies, and linguistics. It is
intended primarily for specialists in those fields and will thus be
of interest mainly to college professors and graduate students.
