Diyālug bā Hāydigir: Persiska (Farsi) 1403

The studies that make up this collection are so many stages in the approach to a still secret thought, that of Martin Heidegger. Perhaps his only question is: What is philosophy? We can say of any great philosophy what Hegel said of the philosophy of Descartes, namely that it is "at its very beginning that it takes up the question again." This initial repetition of the same question appears each time it is raised; as having the scope of a thesis on being. This is how, in the words of Valéry: “Thinkers are people who re-think and who think that what was thought was never thought enough.” But these theses on being, whose beginnings are Greek, and which, for more than two millennia, have filled the space of a so-called history of philosophy, where does it originate from? And from there perhaps its still unthought unity? Begin (enter into the question) and begin (start there) make two. In every beginning there is the enigma of a beginning that it is up to the beginning to leave in the shadows. The Greeks are, in philosophy, our beginners. It is from them and from them only that there is philosophy. But where did they start? From where were they themselves started, that is to say, initiated into their own beginning? The Greek word, on this point, remains enigmatic.
