seeks to bring to light what is hidden in that ordinary manifestation, comes to the fore in H eideggers thinking. A s B eing speaks itself through language , the role of individual Dasein as actively bringing the Being of beings to disclosure is diminished. Being is active, and subjectivity, that is, D asein , if present at all, is largely passive. In this move to poetic thinking, Heidegger has gone beyond the descriptions of experience and of the responsible agent of disclosure that characterize phenomenology to an account of Beings own self-disclosures and self-concealments.

On Husserls view, Herbart reduced the ideality of a logical co ncept to its no rm ality by claim ing that the unifie d me aning of a concept-term was to be found in its normal use rather than in a genuinely ideal meaning instantiated in different uses of the linguistic sign expressing the concept.

Hring was a New Testament scholar who taught in Strasbourg, but before that he was an important interpreter of phenomenology to the French-speaking world. His own phenomenological work was in phenomenological ontology , and he devoted special attention to the issue of essences , including individual essences. HERM ENEUTIC-AS. This is a Heideggerian term that captures well what Husserl aimed at disclosing in his analysis of the perceptual noema . In the full noem a , H usserl distinguishes the noematic sense and the thetic characteristic . W ithin the noematic sense he further distinguishes the d e te rm in ab le X , which is the b e a re r o f no e m a tic p ro p e rtie s, specifically, the noematically (that is, reflectively) modified properties of
