Heidegger on the Meaning Crisis

Heidegger is going to argue that the history of metaphysics, that whole philosophical history coming out of the axial revolution is actually the history of nihilism. This is why He has a profit of the meaning crisis and so on. So it's like going on the walk through a really gnarled forest with somebody, this is a metaphor that Heidegger himself would use. You get a sense of progress, but it's not clear if you're actually making progress.
