Abstract

Angelaki: journal of the theoretical humanities 3:1 1998 I philosophical secrets reading of Heidegger suggests that philos- Aophy has a secret. Heidegger's philosophy moves through forms of philosophy, in which philosophy is essentially a search for its own cor- rect form. Heidegger's search shows that secrecy always arises in philosophy because it can never disclose its own most essential form. Philosophical form is always a secret because it relies on presuppositions that always rely on fur- ther presuppositions. The explanation necessarily relies on presup- position, on implication, on secret form: What is it that by its very essence is necessar- barry stocker ily the theme whenever we exhibit something explicitly? Manifestly, it is something that proximally and for the most part does not show itself at all: it is something that lies hid- PHILOSOPHICA L den, in contrast to that which proximally and for the most part does show itself; but at the SECRETS same time it is something that belongs to what heidegger, poetic form thus shows itself, and it belongs to it so essen- tially as to constitute its meaning and its and the uncanny ground. (Being and Time 59) Heidegger's philosophy can be constituted as departs
