Summary
Mystery is the general and constitutive concealment that prevails over being and all that is. One of the central points of Heidegger’s entire phenomenological approach is that something is unconcealed only against the background of this general concealment. Consequently, the mystery concerns essential aspects of Heidegger’s philosophy such as language and truth and is particularly connected to the concept of being (Sein).
