 The other point that emerges clearly from The Mystical Element in Heidegger’s Thought is how much this religious mysticism differs from Heidegger’s own path, how much Heidegger is Not a mystic. The disconcerting thing about Heidegger, the thing about Heidegger which gives no comfort, is not that he is a mystic, as the sneering references to Seinsmystik made by his critics imply, but the fact that he is not, that the path he stakes out is ominous, uncertain, exposed on all sides to the “danger.” And that, I think, is something about Heidegger which we today, in the epoch of différance, are likely to miss. For we are accustomed to the French critique of Heidegger which singles out Heidegger’s nostalgia for Being, for the master name and unique word of Being, his metaphysics of hope. That critique, I would say, springs from an incomplete rendering of Heidegger, one which cuts short his deconstructive critique of metaphysics. it is a reading whose shortcomings can be readily seen by setting Heidegger’s Denkweg against Eckhart’s mystical and religious way beyond metaphysics. Compared to the way of the religious mystic, Heidegger pursues a darker, riskier, more uncertain path, always exposed to the dark play of the Ereignis, a path with markedly Nietzschean tones. vis-à-vis recent French thought and “Nietzsche Aujourd’hui,” Heidegger looks more like Eckhart; vis-à-vis Eckhart, Heidegger looks more like Nietzsche. The other point that emerges clearly from The Mystical Element in Heidegger’s Thought is how much this religious mysticism differs from Heidegger’s own path, how much Heidegger is Not a mystic.
