When Heidegger recounts his first trip to Greece in 1962 in the text "Sojourns," his pursuit to approach the landscapes in a philosophical way is interesting - as much as it is enigmatic.

What thoughts did the antiquities and the places themselves provoke in him: Mount Parnassus, the plain of Nemea, the valley of Pleistos, the rock of Sounion, the Archipelago? How does he manage to combine the archaeological findings and the statues with each other and with the landscape, and all of this with Homer, Pindar, Aeschylus, Heraclitus, and Plato?

Heidegger skillfully transitions from description to philosophical analysis, from admiration to contemplation, in a book that presents the philosopher at work in the laboratory of concepts - a laboratory that can only be the world itself.
