We read sections 140-142 of Heidegger’s Contributions. Here is discussed the event that oscillates in itself, the reciprocal grounding of Dasein and beyng, the last god self-suspended in the abyss of time-space to rend the net of events that beyng remain unique and divine, and the extinguishing of the great fire. Then, in the wake…

We read section 139 of Heidegger’s Contributions, of beyng essentially occurring while beings are, of the full historical carrying out of inceptual thinking, and of the conflictual domain of strife in which beyng has been covered over by presence as paradigmatic for the interpretation of beings. We then discuss how liberalism is an obsessive flight…

We read sections 137 and 138 of Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event). Herein is discussed the fact that beyng is not some accessory to being, that beyng is not knowable through presencing, and that understanding is the opposite of an I-subject and its lived experiences, but is instead the self coming to itself in…

We read all of section 136 in which Heidegger discusses the relationship between beyng and being, highlighting the disposition of restraint by Dasein against its availability to the gods, the role of the actual, and the “privileged now” theory of time of the first beginning and the other beginning’s concept of memory, preparedness, and a…

In sections 134 and 135 we read about how the “relation” between Dasein and beyng is in a sense not a relation at all, at least not in the way subject/object is. Beyng essentially occurs via an appropriation of Dasein, so they exist in a dynamic interplay. From here we discuss the liberal aversion to…

In section 133 we read of beyng needing humans and humans belonging to beyng, of the uniqueness, unrepresentability, strangeness, and self-concealment of beyng, and of giving up our lostness in beings in order to be appropriated by beyng. We then discuss art, creativity, failure and poo-pooing in the context of the liberal compulsion toward domination….

In sections 131 and 132 of Heidegger’s Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) we read about the excess that comes of the self-concealing, withdrawing from the mathematical retrogression that comes of objective conditions of possibility, and leaping into the truth of beyng rather than preliminarily defining the ontological distinction between beings and beyng. We then…
