True time is four-dimensional.
But every historical statement and legitimization itself moves within a certain relation to history.
The human body is essentially something other than an animal organism.
he who thinks great thoughts often makes great errors
We do not say: Being is, time is, but rather: there is Being and there is time.
The possible ranks higher than the actual.
Transcendence constitutes selfhood.
Making itself intelligible is suicide for philosophy.
The human being is not the lord of beings, but the shepherd of Being.
Why are there beings at all, instead of Nothing?
Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one.
The most thought-provoking thing in our thought-provoking time is that we are still not thinking.
So it's clear from whence the history of philosophy is the inner movement of the course of spirit, that is, of absolute subjectivity, towards itself.
Man is not the lord of beings. Man is the shepherd of Being.
