Abstract
In his philosophical studies, Heidegger opens a new approach to thinking, which is different from metaphysical thinking, and he refers to it as "existential thinking". According to him, "existential thinking" is a thinking arising from existence and about it, and the source of that existence is as an event. The event itself, as a historical description, is actually a gift of existence in the ages, and thought must be receptive to it. This gift shows itself in poetry; Because language is a condition for the emergence and revelation of the existence of beings. Poetry opens a magazine for the emergence of the truth of existence, and it is the poet and thinker who must protect this emergence. Therefore, "existential thinking" is the same as the essence of poetry, despite the special insight that Heidegger's existential thinking is a way to meditate on existence. It is open to us, there seem to be ambiguities and criticisms of his approach, including the suspicion of limiting the truth of existence to the horizon of time, ambiguity about the stability or modernity of existence, the possibility of any tasteful perception of existence without rational criteria, and finally, the diminution of the role of will and Human free will and submission to a type of predestination and determinism. In this article, we intend to first analyze Heidegger's late "existential thought" foundation and its coordinates with descriptive-analytical method and then criticize Heidegger's approach with a critical approach.
