“ La figure du travailleur. ” Here it must be explained: “figure” is first of all not “phenomenon” (Erscheinung), it is a contouring within the phenomenal world. “ Travail ” goes back to the Latin “tripalium,” an instrument of torture. “Arbeit” (work) comes from the Gothic “arpeo,” which means inheritance. [Correspondence 1949–1975, Martin Heidegger and Ernst Jünger, translated by Timothy Sean Quinn]
