I think _epagoge_ and metaphors relating to _looking_ or _going back_ (for
instance in the Cave Allegory) are important for discussing different kinds
of _turning_. See also Michael Eldred's book (ed.) Twisting Heidegger
Heidegger was a passionate skier (this is the right place for doing
different kinds of _kehre_; in German we have for instance:
wiederkehr (return, come back, see Nietzsche), rückkehr (come back), umkehr
(turning back, also in moral sense),
(see also: drehen, turning; as well as _winden_ like in _verwinden_ and
_ueberwinden_ two key words of Heidegger's thinking on metaphysics)
see also: _Wiederholung_ (in Being and Time). Heidegger uses Kehre for
instance 1928 (GA 26, p.201: indicating that the _temporale Analytik_ ist
"at the same time the _Kehre_, where Ontology goes back into metaphysical
ontics, where it is always already situated, and it does it explicitly"
