Departs from Familiar Limits

Light of Truth

“The unhomely prevents us from making ourselves at home and therein it is overpowering. But man is the strangest of all, not only because he passes his life amid the strange under-stood in this sense, but because he departs from his customary, familiar limits, because he is the violent one, who, tending toward the strange in the sense of the overpowering, surpasses the limit of the familiar.”

M. Heidegger,
On Antigone
