Abstract

23 Heidegger and the Question of Ethics CHARLES E. SCOTT Vanderbilt Uniaersity ioog, VOJ.1Óç, VOJ.1Óç, AND THE QUESTION OF ETHICS The word £0Ea in Homer was used to name the places where animals belong. The animal's t80ç is the place to which it returns, the place that is its habitat, its dwelling place. If the animal cannot return to its ioog, a violation of its particular order occurs, as when a wild horse is hobbled in a stall and cannot return to its own environment. In the Iliad (6.506-11) Homer says, "As when a stabled horse, having been fed at a manger, breaks his bonds and runs galloping over the plain, since he is accustomed to bath in the flowing river, glorying. He holds his head high, and his mane leaps on his shoulders on both sides. His knees swiftly bear him, trusting his splendor, through the É8Ea and pastures (vop6g) of horses."'
