In the Trinidad and Tobago Express, Heidegger is invoked to support the notion of finding one's own path or local solutions to global problems:
Although he turned out to be a Nazi and himself ended up with doubts about Being and Time, I still favour Heidegger's notion of 'being there'. Few things have influenced me more than my own experience of the shaping power of place and the vital role of moment. History is necessarily replete with clues to the human condition. On the question of family and its impact, my own feel for the Caribbean warns me against the careers of other places that sound similar but are only approximate.
