Heidegger’s ‘turn’ moved his thought toward receptivity and away from resoluteness.

Evidence

Heidegger’s thought itself was now becoming more and more ‘uncanny’. In his snowy forest, he began a long, slow reorientation which has become known as the ‘turn’ (die Kehre), although it can be pinned down to no single event. It was a process leading Heidegger towards a more earthy, more receptive, more poetical way of thinking, and away from talk of resoluteness and decisiveness. — Sarah Bakewell, At the Existentialist Café, 310

Categorization

• DEFINE: Defines die Kehre economically: a long process, not an event, toward more poetic and receptive thinking.
• XREF: Connects to the reader’s working knowledge of being-in-the-world and Dasein — the ‘resoluteness’ here is Being and Time’s Entschlossenheit, whose later repudiation is central to any narrative of Heidegger. — connects to: Heidegger’s Kehre was a gradual shift from Dasein’s active demands toward receptive waiting — Sarah Bakewell, At the Existentialist Café: Freedom,…, 579; Heidegger’s 1929 lecture made existential mood, not reason, the gateway to Being. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School: Its History,…, 414
