The Saying of the Sage

Abstract

Logos lets learning be by gathering together and providing the ultimate context (horos). Logos, Heidegger says, “names that which gathers everything present into presence, and lets it present itself.”1 Logos, like the Tao, is the ultimate context that is ineffable, unspeakable, and thereby ‘the Word,’ that beckons and appeals and is heard as an appeal by the Other that beckons from the mysterious region.
