I also want to reflect on the deleterious consequences for revelation in this later discourse that both squeezes it out and/or makes it redundant by integrating a number of its key elements. Here I would like to explicate and clarify the oft-made suggestion that the discourse of the later Heidegger has something to do with the return of myth and the way that the return is abetted by the generation of a form of meditative or contemplative thinking beyond reason, while made possible by it. These difficulties are a prompt as well as a challenge. The prolific Heidegger provides numerous examples of this shift of discursive register, but perhaps the posthumously published Beiträge ( Contributions to Philosophy), presumed to be written between 19-and regarded in some quarters as the German philosopher’s second masterpiece, and Heidegger’s numerous commentaries on the poetry of the great German Romantic poet Friedrich Hölderlin-can stand as representative. But what does it mean to talk about the return of myth or the blending of myth and philosophy? How is it even possible to gain access to a strained idiosyncratic language that for the most part seems to suspend philosophical method, refuses to traffic in logic, proceeds mainly by commentary on other thinkers, for the most part, excludes explicit statements, or when they do appear, reduce them to enigmas? What to do when the discourse is so impenetrable, so indifferent to communication, so absorbed in its own evocation and its own resonances? I know that the Pentagon has done what they call prudent - has urged prudent contingency planning and said anyone who can get out safely should get.Most scholars of Heidegger would agree that in the works he produced, from the middle of the 1930s on, not only is there an observable shift of orientation from Dasein to Sein, but also a shift of discursive register from the rigorous phenomenological and ontological method of Being and Time (1927) to an enigmatic and oracular manner of communication that seems to signify the recrudescence of myth.

The term prudent "means whatever the appropriate officials want it to mean," Straszheim said, adding that China may aim to contract the money supply and restrict new lending in order to cool the economy.
