Roger Scruton on Heidegger

Quite mirroring my own sense of Heidegger are the following delectable comments on him:

"It is impossible to summarize Heidegger's work, which no one has claimed to understand completely. In the next chapter I shall give reasons for thinking that it may be unintelligible... Its language... is metaphorical and contorted to the point almost of incomprehensibility; the reader has the impression that never before have so many words been invented and tormented in the attempt to express the inexpressible" (Short History, 256)

:-)

Hegel, Heidegger, Derrida... three of a kind
