Completing our reading of section 102, we follow Heidegger through a discussion of how philosophy as science bolsters the position of thought as guideline which, like the absolute self-knowledge of the I, determines the interpretation of beingness as the self-present present. Following further discussions of Nietzsche’s “will to power” as truth deteriorated “into a necessary…

We start at section 101 of Contributions and read about the great simplicity of our initial look into the truth of beyng via an understanding of thought as anticipatory grasping. In the next section we read a beautiful historiography of the development from Plato’s “yoking of the soul and truth” to the I that thinks…
