A flor e a palavra: sobre a linguagem da natureza em Hölderlin e Heidegger

The article defends the hypothesis of a language of nature from the ontological interpretation of Hölderlin’s poetry, contrary to the aesthetic interpretation made by Benjamin and accepted by Adorno. Heidegger’s exegesis of the Greek φύσις, which he compares to that of Hölderlin, will be the guiding thread both to differentiate the ontological reading from the aesthetic reading and to defend the possibility of nature speaking to the poet’s heart in a pre-discursive way. The article ends with the analysis of the Angelus Silesius mystical poem, whose objective is to reaffirm this hypothesis and not defend a mystique in Heidegger or in Hölderlin.
