Abstract

Abstract: Martin Heidegger's essential question of "what are poets for" is used to explore the relationship between the poet and nature, being, beings as a whole, the thing, and language in the "world's night" of "destitute time". In Heidegger's view, human beings' venture that follows their manufactural willing has led to the vanishing of the thing, the shrink of beings as a whole, destruction of the foundation of all beings, and deprived things and human beings of their homes of being. Then poet's mission is to reflect on the control of technology, to participate in the rescue of the thing, to create the "sphere" of being, to return to the soul of inner space, and to poetically dwell in the "full nature" by venturing in language. And it is the objective of Heidegger's original ecological ethics that concerns how to co-dwell poetically on the earth along with other beings.

Key words: Heidegger, "what are poets for", ecological ethics, full nature
