Roman Empire

is still dominating us today; it entrenched itself, invisibly and insidiously, as common sense and the unexamined principles of Western thinking.

For Heidegger, the Roman empire never came to an end: it entrenched itself, invisibly and insidiously, as common sense and the unexamined principles of Western thinking. This sort of change is the least visible: it concerns not what we see but how we see. For the same reason it is also ‘the most dangerous but also the most enduring, form of domination’ (Par: 46).
