Heidegger as a fashion model, or How to drag a tiger by the tail and not be eaten

The author examines the photo of the German existentialist philosopher Martin Heidegger as a gesture of involuntary self-disclosure and self-exposure. And, having fixed his gaze on Heidegger, who narrowed his right eye and raised the “pointing finger” of his right hand, the author subjects the picture to hermeneutical, phenomenological and semiotic analysis. The main conclusion of the article is that Heidegger closes his eyes (Augen-schliessen) to a being of the World who is about to serve him with a court summons for evading the truth of being. A arrowed eye is both a rejection of completeness, and inferiority, and an escape into simplism, which exposes being-centrism — as the key to sobriety, while nothing is assigned the role of the philosopher’s errand boy, which, according to the author, testifi es to Heidegger’s ontological shortsightedness. The author examines in detail the evidence of such philosophical “accommodation” using the example of existentials In-der-Welt-sein (being-in-the-world), Sorge (caring), etc. Heidegger sees in Nothing a tool for fi nding “beingin- the-world” in modes of authentic/inauthentic existence, i.e., a technical skill that calibrates the mind, but not Nothing itself, not a sovereign, negating non-existence, not something that nullifi es itself-in-itself-and-for-itself, nullifi es itself as it pleases, and without opposing itself to being. And, having shown ontological deafness — as for the eloquent babble of the truth of being, then Heidegger’s hearing is impeccable and sensitive — the philosopher denied the non-existent: a. in speaking; b. in thinking; c. in believing. And by reducing Nothing to a function, Heidegger deprived Being of the desired completeness, which, as the author believes, is possible only in the trinocular unity of Being-Mind/Nusa-Non-Being.
