Deep grief as a fundamental disposition in Heidegger's Hölderlin

Description

In volume 39 of his Complete Works, Heidegger attempts to identify and isolate one of the fundamental dispositions of Hölderlin's poetry. Grief and sadness are identified. The scheme Heidegger applies to dispositional analysis: it implies a surface manifestation of sadness and two others. A second manifestation and a deeper one. Thematic identification alone does not produce the operative concept of disposition. In other words, identifying sadness can be done neutrally or even enthusiastically. But feeling sad is different from observing sadness. The process (kinēsis) or procedural event must be effective and activate (energeia) sadness in some way. We will explore the relationship between 1. cause and effect, 2. inner and outer, 3. allegory and metaphor, 4. violence and the duration of grief: mourning and sadness and pain. What is the relationship between dispositional content and actual content? And how the process of the situation can be evoked. The circumstances of grief are the physical or emotional loss of time, space, things, other people, oneself. How is it that at the bottom of all life there can be a sadness with everything as a whole?
