VILARINO, María Cristina. Poética de un habitar trágico Heidegger-Hölderlin-Nietzsche. Cuad. Sur, Filos. [online]. 2007, n.36, pp. 201-214. ISSN 1668-7434.

Heidegger wrote Dichterisch wohnet der Mensch, asking himself how human life may be founded on a poetic dimension... it seems that this is just an unreal and ingenuous opinion, or maybe, the blind attitude of someone who refuses to acknowledge the critical condition of life on Earth... But poetry, in this particular sense, is engaged with the human being, and in fact doesn't keep him away from the tragic conception of existence. Those philosophers and poets who profess the tragic feeling of life, share the same sense, that there's no other fundamental event except the aesthetic one: the meeting of split virtues such as harmony, freedom, joy, fatherland, love... created in the flame of unity are induced to action. This action (drama) involves the tragic condition, since each drama consists of an enthusiastic individual who fights and builds for the future dwellers on this earth.
