1) Why does Heidegger think that the picture of language as the expression of man's inner thoughts is correct but inadequate?
2) What does Heidegger mean by 'what is spoken purely' (194)? What is important about 'pure speech' for him?
3) Why does Heidegger think 'the calling here calls into a nearness, [without] wresting what it calls away from the remoteness, in which it is kept by the calling there' (198-9)? How is this nearness different from being present?
4) What is the 'middle' or 'between' in which world and things 'penetrate each other' in an 'intimacy' that is not a 'fusion'? Why should this be called a 'dif-ference' (202)? How does the dif-ference 'mete out the measure of their [thing and world's] presence' (203)?
5) What does Heidegger mean when he says that 'Pain joins the rift of the dif-ference' (204)?
6) What does Heidegger mean when he says that 'The calling of the dif-ference
is the double stilling' (207)?
