Abstract

The article deals with the Heideggerian reinterpretation of the Greek concept of physis starting from
his exegesis of Heraclitus and, particularly, from the apophatic mysticism of Angelus Silesius. This
apophatic reinterpretation of physis, evidently extemporaneous, is essentially oriented not by strictly
religious motives or by an opposition between the rational and the irrational, but by the search for a
new form of phenomenological rationality - different from the modern ratio - capable of confronting
the representative thinking proper to modern technology.
