Abstract
The article aims to recognize Heidegger’s late phenomenology of language as a situational ontology. It is shown that this approach is motivated by a hitherto unnoticed problem of relevance that goes beyond the traditional frame problem. The problem of relevance is introduced and presented as a novel key to make sense of Heidegger’s concept of language as the “showing” of an involving context. It is demonstrated how both representational and pragmatic-enactive models of language give rise to the problem. Finally, Heidegger’s radical situational approach to language and thinghood is classified as a variant of realism that can be called “Involving Realism” which is contrasted critically against other contemporary forms of Realism such as Enactive Realism or New Realism.
