Forms of Philosophical Expression: The Case of Heidegger's Poem "Thought".

The article provides an overview of verbalization of philosophical ideas. It discusses the implications of employing specific forms of philosophical expression and addresses the problem of combining content and form. It presents instances of originality and of transgression in this realm. Questions are posed about the lack of thorough critical analyses of these forms of philosophical expression. An excerpt from Martin Heidegger's correspondence with Hannah Arendt is used to exemplify complications generated by the study of forms of philosophical expression. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
