According to Heidegger, the human being belongs to Being as :

  • A.a guardian
  • B.a creator
  • C.a master
  • D.an author

Answer: A

The human being belongs to Being as a guardian.

In the 'Letter on Humanism' (1946), Heidegger says that man is not the lord of beings but the shepherd of Being, and that language is the house of Being in which man dwells as its guardian. The human being's task is to guard and preserve the openness in which Being shows itself.

Heidegger explicitly denies that man is master or creator of Being, the view he attributes to modern subjectivism and technology. 'Author' likewise makes man the source of Being, which is the reverse of his position.
