Re: Meytahl on Arendt and HeideggerI am asking for help understanding some stuff:

Did Heidegger ever give a definition of being? What was his last word on it?

I recall somewhere something like "being is the giving that withdraws, conceals itself in the act of giving". I also know that Heidegger was really keen on the big role Nothingness plays in Being. Yet I'm afraid I am confused, not really sure what he said.

Can someone enlighten me as to what exactly Heidegger wound up thinking about Being? I mean, it was the BIG aim of his projects and I feel kind of silly not knowing what he discovered.
