Heidegger and Henry Miller
from III - Heidegger and Literary Works
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 November 2023
A 1965 note by Heidegger makes an unlikely connection with Henry Miller’s famed account of his travels to Greece at the outbreak of World War Two, The Colossus of Maroussi (1941). Heidegger reads this in light of his own “travelogue” of Greece, Sojourns (1962). Comparing the two through the lens of this note shows how both authors attempt what Heidegger calls a “phenomenology of the inapparent,” an attentiveness to what does not show itself in the phenomena at hand, something quite distinct from objective description. The chapter concludes with reflections on Germany’s relation to Greece at this time.
