  Abstract	The aim of this paper is to show the elitist character of Martin Heidegger’s philosophy. Heidegger, throughout his thought and in different ways, has argued for privileged access to truth. Only some will be able to glimpse the Ereignis and will have the task of bequeathing this vision to the people. I propose to analyze three figures that appear in the philosopher’s conceptual itinerary and that corroborate this hypothesis: 1. those who suffer anxiety in Being and Time; 2. the figure of the poets; 3. and the role of thinkers in late Heidegger. In short, the German philosopher has had an elitist conception throughout his thought on the access to being.
