Buren (GA63:nota 59) – νοεῖν

In his 1922 essay “Phänomenologische Interpretationen zu Aristoteles  ,” pp. 255ff., Heidegger had translated the term νοεῖν   in Parmenides   and Aristotle as both Vernehmen   (“perceiving”) and Vermeinen   (“meaning [something]”). In the present text  , he combines these two translations in the phrase vernehmendes Vermeinen, for which “perceptual mean-ing” has been used. The hyphenated term “mean-ing” has been employed to indicate that Heidegger has in mind the act of “mean-ing” or intending as opposed “the meaning” which is meant or intended. “Mean-ing” has also been used for the earlier related occurrences of Meinen in §1 and of meinend in §10.
