horizon (BTMR) horizon (ETEM) horizonte (StSchuback)

NT: ‘. . . als des möglichen Horizontes eines jeden Seinsverständnisses überhaupt . . .’ Throughout this work the word ‘horizon’ is used with a connotation somewhat different from that to which the English-speaking reader is likely to be accustomed. We tend to think of a horizon as something which we may widen or extend or go beyond; Heidegger, however, seems to think of it rather as something which we can neither widen nor go beyond, but which provides the limits for certain intellectual activities performed ‘within’ it. (BTMR:1)
