Abstract

The purpose of this project was threefold. First, the thesis resulting from this project was to provide a basic commentary on Discourse on Thinking. This was be done by using the much simpler “Memorial Address” and how it relates to the ideas developed in Heidegger’s other works to establish the background and approach necessary to understanding the more explanatory “Conversation on a Country Path About Thinking.” Second, the paper was to then describe the concept of releasement, illustrating the primary role it must play if man is to dwell meaningfully in a world dominated by technology and modern science. Finally, it was to ahow that only through a religious attachment to God that man develops the disposition necessary for releasement.
