Verwindung (overcoming) is a word that Heidegger uses rather rarely; it appears in one passage in Holzwege,' in an essay in Vortrdge und Aufs itze,2 and, above all, in the first essay of Identitat und Differenz.3 With it Heidegger seeks to designate something similar to yet distinct from Uberwindung (going beyond) in that Verwindung contains no notion of dialectical sublimation (Aufhebung) nor of a leaving behind which characterizes the connection we have with a past that no longer has anything to say to us. I believe that if one reflects on what the term postmodern may signify in philosophy (and I do not wish to limit myself merely to pointing out a series of analogies, though quite consistent and noteworthy, between particular philosophical tendencies today and what we call postmodernism in literature and in the arts), one ends up encountering this term
