Poetic Dwelling of the Ocean: Appreciating the Man Who Has Never Seen the Sea from Heidegger’s Poetic View

Abstract

Heidegger believed that the origin of a nation’s historic existence is art. In the artistic world, we can expose the alienation of reality, uncover the original beauty, and return to poetic human habitation. In Le Clézio’s works The Man Who Has Never Seen the Sea, bystanders, as “intermediaries”, construct virtual dreams to escape from the city’s dreams. In the interaction with the natural ocean field, Daniel, a pure child messenger, is shaped, and his original experience is used to restore the original language, so as to realize the original awakening of human beings and create a poetic dwelling.
