What few people know about Heidegger is that for most of his life he owned and operated his own cheese shop. He would tell his customers: “The question is not ‘Is this cheese or not?’ but ‘How is this cheese?’.” Then he’d say, after a brief pause during which he’d furrow his brow and give the air of contemplation, “It’s wonderful…the cheese in its skin is not the cheese on the cracker. Just try it, and you’ll see that it’s true.”
