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…

In Section 30 of Heidegger’s Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) we learn that meditation is necessarily meditation on oneself, that ecological self-consciousness as a calculable entity is misleading, and that we must move beyond ourselves to selfhood via the appropriation of Dasein by beyng. From this vantage we discuss the notion of the questable…

In Sections 28 and 29 of Heidegger’s Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) we read about the immeasurableness of inceptual thinking as finite thinking, the alternative rigor of inceptual thinking as the freedom of the joining of its junctures, and the compellingness of general reasoning’s results coming from the contentment with a system. This leads…

In reading sections 26 & 27 of Heidegger’s Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) we discover the distinction between “the rational animal” (past human being) vs. “the steward of beyng” (future human being), a mapping of the meditative process or “the long preparation for the decision regarding truth,” and the carrying out of the resonating,…

In sections 24 and 25 of Heidegger’s Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) we read about the aberrant demands on inceptual thinking, sovereignty over the masses thru the shackles of organization, and the proclivity to think of one’s self as an objective “examplar” of the species “human being,” concluding with a conversation about the purpose…

In Section 23, entitled Inceptual Thinking – Why Thinking Out of the Beginning, we read about confronting the end of the first beginning, the greatest occurrence being the most intimate event, letting beyng protrude into being, the sigetic or logic of silence, the uselessness of philosophical thinking, and, along with the question in the title,…
