Abstract In “The Origin of the Work of Art”， Heidegger invokes Van Gogh’s famous picture “Old Shoes” to prove that the being of equipment can only be revealed by virtue of a work of art. However， it is this appeal to the very picture that irritates Schapiro because， in his opinion， the pair of shoes does absolutely not， as Heidegger believes， belong to a peasant but rather to the artist himself. For this reason， he writes “The Still Life as a Personal Object” to denounce Heidegger. Schapiro’s critique seems to be a deadly strike on Heidegger. It is under this situation that Derrida intervenes in this controversy. However， he intervenes neither to support Schapiro nor to argue in defence of Heidegger. According to Derrida， rather than hitting the mark， Schapiro’s critique makes the same mistakes but even more badly.
