What does it mean to read? Interpretations of légein, legen and lesen on the way to the question of the saying of Speech in Martin Heidegger's work.

Abstract

In this brief study, we try to question about what is called reading?, issue oriented towards the question what is called thinking?. This is in the context of hermeneutical inquiry into the way of Reading implicated in the complex relationship between reading, interpreting and understanding in Martin Heidegger’s work. To do this, first of all, we are going to listen to the archaic senses of the Greek légein; then we will study the place of that which exhorts thinking itself to think (like noeîn), that is, a silence that concerns the mortal insofar as what is said in saying is not available to any representative thought, as a maximum indication of the openness to otherness that languages say. Finally, we would like to present some conclusions by way of closure.
