Like Kant, Heidegger and Wittgenstein attempt to determine whether the relation between Knowing and Being is rendered more intelligible by seeing to what extent things conform to our language and mode of understanding. Being and Time and the Philosophical Investigations mark the crest of the second wave of Kant's Copernican Revolution. In their works Heidegger and Wittgenstein find themselves forced to reject the model of knowledge that has been most prominent throughout the history of philosophy.
