One must take fully into account that the Greeks lived in discourse [Rede], and one must note that if discourse is the genuine possibility of being-there, in which it plays itself out, that is, concretely and for the most part, then precisely this speaking is also the possibility in which being-there is ensnared [verfängt]. It is the possibility that being-there allow itself to be taken in a peculiar direction and become absorbed in the immediate, in fashions, in babble [Geschwätz]. For the Greeks themselves, this process of living in the world, to be absorbed [aufzugehen] in what is ordinary, to fall into [verfallen] the world in which it lives, became, through language, the basic danger [Grundgefahr] of their being-there. The proof of this fact is the existence of sophistry. This predominant possibility of speaking is taken seriously by sophistry [Sophistik]. Protagoras
