 Martin Heidegger [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
However, Heidegger breaks the word down to its components "Da" and "Sein," and gives to it a special meaning which is related to his answer to the question of who the human being is. He relates this question to the question of being.
When Heidegger urges us to stand in being, he does not merely ask us to acknowledge our own place in being's history, but to be future-oriented and see the future in a unity with the past as having-been and the present.
And yet, Heidegger was not Husserl's faithful follower.

 Heidegger's Reading of Heraclitus
Heidegger traces the emphasis on logic and correctness to the Greek terms lovgo§ and ajlhvqeia, but argues that both terms--the first taken as gathering, the second as unconcealment--originally comprehended the relatedness of beings to one another and to what remains concealed.
Heidegger seeks from this fragment some understanding of lovgo§ and levgein both broad enough to fit the leading role which they play in the extant fragments of Heraclitus' thought--given also his position prior to so many philosophical distinctions, but also specific enough to explain the ensuing dominance of lovgo§ in the narrow sense of logic.
Heidegger translates the fragment with the following words: From that to which for the most part they are bound and by which they are thoroughly sustained, the Lovgo§, from that they separate themselves; and it becomes manifest: whatever they daily encounter remains foreign (in its presencing) to them.

Such a repoetizing Heidegger finds in Hoelderlin, and especially in the late hymns, which, he says, hit him and others "like an earthquake" when they were first published in an edition by Norbert von Hellingrath in 1914.
