Heidegger’s “Creative Landscapes: Why do we remain in the provinces?” and “Dialogue on Language” reveal the importance of rootedness for his existentialism. The article en-gages with the provinciality of Heidegger’s thought by juxtaposing his solitary “hut ex-istence” to Buddhist compassion and the urban aesthetics of Kuki Shuzo. Turning to the East allows for a deprovincialization of Heideggerian themes. The rich philosophical legacy of reflecting on intercultural modernization and urbanization processes in East Asian philosophical traditions presents a genuine opportunity to rethink what it means to dwell today. © 2023, University of Ljubljana Press.
