Heideggers interpretations of the poetry of H?lderlin are central to Heideggers later philosophy and have determined the mainstream reception of H?lderlins poetry. Gosetti-Ferencei argues that Heidegger has overlooked central elements in H?lderlins poetics, such as a Kantian understanding of aesthetic subjectivity and a commitment to Enlightenment ideals. These elements, she argues, resist the more politically distressing aspects of Heideggers interpretations, including Heideggers nationalist valorization of the German language and sense of nationhood, or Heimat.In the context of H?lderlins poetics of alienation, exile, and wandering, Gosetti-Ferencei draws a different model of poetic subjectivity, which engages Heideggers later philosophy of Gelassenheit, calmness, or letting be. In so doing, she is able to pose a phenomenologically sensitive theory of poetic language and a new poetics of Dasein, or being there.
