In The Fundamental Concepts of Metaphysics, Heidegger writes that the philosophical questioning in which he is engaged aims to go back into the ‘originary dimension’ in which world-forming occurs, that is, the dimension in which the whole determined by the formal characterization of the ‘as such’ is itself opened. To achieve this, he will use both the account of the logos and the fundamental attunement of boredom outlined in the earlier part of the lecture course (and to which I referred above) as ways of preparing the entry of thinking back into ‘the occurrence of the prevailing of world’ (GA29/30 510: 351; italics in the original). In accordance with the character of formal indication that we mentioned earlier:

This philosophising entry and return of man into the Dasein in him can only ever be prepared, never effected. Awakening is a matter for each individual human being, not a matter of his or her good will or even skilfulness, but of his or her destiny, whatever falls or does not fall to him or her. (GA29/30 510: 351)
