In this chapter, Hans Ruin investigates Heidegger’s conception of fate and destiny. The chapter takes as its point of departure Heidegger’s exploration of the Greek concept of moira in his lecture course on Parmenides from 1942/3. Ruin argues that the lecture course forms an important stage in Heidegger’s life-long attempt to think about destiny, fate, and “the destinal,” and that it demonstrates that Heidegger’s thoughts on destiny also form part of his attempt to articulate what he also terms “the ontological difference.” Ruin further argues that Heidegger’s thoughts on “the destinal” help illuminate the way in which the Greeks become a topic in and for Heidegger himself. For moira is not simply a term taken from Parmenides and the Greek tradition. Translated as “the destinal,” it also designates the way in which Heidegger invites us to think of our relation to the Greek tradition, a tradition that is bequeathed to us as destiny and whose thinkers point to future possibilities in our own thinking. The chapter explores the problem of fate and destiny as a thread that may guide us to the center of Heidegger’s way of articulating the mode in which the Greek origin of our tradition manifests itself to contemporary thought, a theme central for Heidegger beginning with Being and Time and extending into his late work. The concepts of fate and destiny, Ruin also argues, are intimately connected to Heidegger’s political thought as expressed not least in his Rectoral Address from 1933. As such they concern the problem of politics and authority in Heidegger and have a bearing on his thoughts about origin and the way these thoughts develop in the course of his work. The chapter ends by asking whether Heidegger’s thinking about fate is closely tied to his National Socialist sympathies, or whether it may have a broader significance relevant also to a modern, globalized world-view.
