We read section 123 of Heidegger’s Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) and discuss its main points, including the trembling that expands the temporal-spatial playing field, refusal as the intimacy of the allocation, and defense against the plight as its preservation. We then use what we’ve learned to diatribe on “no one is illegal on…

In section 122, we read about the Leap as the thrown projection that carries out the truth of beyng. This thrownness testifies to itself, and the more the projector projects, the more he is thrown as one who is already thrown. As it throws itself into the open realm wherein it catches on to the…

In section 121 we go through an extended metaphor by Heidegger of “the scale.” On one side, place all objectively present beings and the machinations that congeal and entrench them, and on the other place the projection of beyng. Where does the needle go? Always to the former in order to prove the ineffectualness of…

We conclude section 120 in which we read how “thinking, as inceptual, grounds the time-space in its structure of transporting and captivating and penetrates the fissure of beyng in its uniqueness, freedom, contingency, necessity, possibility, and actuality.” This leads to discussions of how the modal logic inherent to anxiety treatment, and liberalism in general, prevents…

We start section 120 and begin to learn about the leap, which is “the leaping into a preparedness for the belonging to the event.” The there where the gods come and go is manifested by the leap. Through the leap we are appropriated by beyng as the ruth of beings. We then discuss how thought…

We continue through section 119, reading about the transition to the leap, time as the original unity of the self-clearing and self-concealing, and the dislodging of humans out of the lack of a sense of plight. Further discussion is had of how liberals are story-driven LLMs, how timeless causal connections are the hallmark of liberal…

We start section 119 of Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) and read about preparing for the leap by asking about the question of beyng and the objectification of beings in the abandonment by being. We then go on to discuss how sanctuary cities, international law, and the communist compulsion for control are projections of…

We read section 118 in part 4 (The Leap). Herein we learn of the extreme projection of the essence of beyng whereby we come to ourselves for the first time, as well as the ground of the decision regarding the direction and range of the projection. We use these ideas to discuss what it means…

In section 117 (The Leap) we read about the decisionary space of the clearing/concealing, the uniqueness of death as the unusualness of beyng, and the “death of a god” as “the most frightful jubilation.” In relating all this to the liberal/post-liberal transition, we discover the conceptual deceptions that underlie the basic assertions of the historical…

We conclude Part 3 of the book (The Interplay) and head into Part 4 (The Leap). We read about the necessity of distinction and uniqueness, aka hierarchy, that is necessary to open up being, the history of being that has led up to the need for the leap into beyng, and the disposition of diffidence…
