In the first half section 44 of Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) by Martin Heidegger we are presented with a number of decisions – between subject and Dasein, between animal as substance and rationale as culture or beyng in its future abode, between art as an arrangement of lived experiences or a setting-into-work of…

In section 43 of Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) by Heidegger we read of decision, both in its standard existential-psychological-anthropological sense of choosing or preferring and in its more originary sense as an opening of the temporal-spacial playing field in which the appropriation of Dasein by beyng takes place. We then discuss how this…

In section 42 of Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) by Heidegger we read how the “way” is original questioning after the meaning of beyng, how all historiological procedure must be dropped in order to conduct this questioning, and how the questions must always change not by objection but standing up to beyng and challenging…

Sections 38-41 of Contributions are completed in this episode, so a lot of ground is covered. We read about sigetics, or the logic of silence, the conjuncture of the six elements of original thinking, and how we must arrive at beyng thru the language of being, which experiences a transformation thereby. We finish on a…

We rip thru sections 35 – 37 and read about the transformation from a language of being to a language of beyng, how the seeking must be the finding in the perpetuation of the questioning, and how bearing silence arises out of the essentially occurring origin of language itself from the basic experience which is…

Concluding section 34 of Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event), we read and discuss how the basic question can lead us not only forward but back to a more original confrontation with the guiding question, how the determination of beingness only leads to an accumulation of “categories,” and how the leap into the truth of…

We read section 33 and part of section 34 of Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) in which is discussed the question of beyng as outside calculations of purposes and values, how the tacit presentiment of the event offers itself in historical recollection as primordial temporality, and time as a directive toward, and resonating with,…

Concluding section 32 of Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) we read about the instituting that is involved in truth as sheltering of the cleared-concealed, the care-taking that abides in various modes of production, and philosophy as the finding and making appear the simple sights and native forms in which the essential occurrence of beyng…

We read section 32 of Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) and discuss how the transporting-captivating of truth can harden into indifference, how our understanding of space and time is a consequence of understanding beings as Being and truth as correctness, and how an “indifferencing” of time and space lies at the root of anxious…

In reading sections 31 and part of section 32 of Heidegger’s Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) we hear of the self-certainty of Dasein in its grounding law-giving and in its enduring of wrath, of the carrying out of truth in the sheltering of beings, and of truth as the clearing/concealing. This leads us to…
