| Summary: | After Being and Time, “the last god” is born ex nihilo in Contributions to Philosophy. This has aroused extensive interest and discussion in the academic world. This paper focuses on the manifestation of “the last god” in Contributions to Philosophy. I will show that Contributions to Philosophy conveys Heidegger’s “deep experience”. This “deep experience” contains several key moments: solitude, stillness, silence and restraint. Solitude is the essential state of philosophers and poets. In solitude, one can enter a still place, which comes from the “stillness of Being”. Silence corresponds to this stillness. Silence has an original depth. These experiences finally point to the grounding attunement of “restraint”, which contains a relationship with powerful things. “The last god” appears in such deep experience, and its mode of manifestation is called “passing by”. |
