Canciones más allá de los hombres. En torno a la poética de Paul Celan y el problema del humanismo en Martin Heidegger

In this text, we are going to reflect on the final verses of the poem Fadennsonen. With them, we will consider the possibility of a thought beyond humanism by blending philosophy and poetry. We will introduce the issue starting from the only biographical encounter between our two main figures, Martin Heidegger and Paul Celan. We will attempt, briefly, to summarize and address why the humanist discourse is problematic for us, focusing on its foundations and trying to draw out its consequences. We will explain what significance humanism had for Martin Heidegger by referring to the letter written to Jean Beaufret in 1946, Letter on Humanism. Is it possible to think beyond the humanist foundation? To do so, we will also need to examine what a ground (Grund) entails and how it might be surpassed. Finally, we will have to start thinking in a new way of a world that can no longer be conceived from humanist coordinates, with all the challenges that this entails.
