Martin Heidegger’s The Event offers his most substantial self-critique of his Contributions to Philosophy: Of the Event and articulates what he means by the event itself. Richard Rojcewicz’s elegant translation offers the English-speaking reader intimate contact with one of the most basic Heideggerian concepts. This book lays out how the event is to be understood and ties it closely to looking, showing, self-manifestation, and the self-unveiling of the gods. The Event (Complete Works, volume 71) is part of a series of Heidegger's private writings in response to Contributions.
Disentanglement, out of the essence of which it thinks ἀλήθεια and φύσις. It is not the case that ἀλήθεια is a “moment” of φύσις, but φύσις is an unconcealedness of disconcealment, which is an (eventful) disentanglement. (The turning in favor of being as beingness; ἀλήθεια to ὁμοίωσις). The disentanglement (as the origin of the advancement) conceals itself in unconcealedness as disconcealment, and this latter first integrates itself into the emergence (φύσις), specifically such that here already.
Respect to this differentiation and what is differentiated in it. The differentiated elements are themselves without any place or soil, unless an empty activity of human understanding is claimed on their behalf. Yet being differentiates itself from beings. Being does the differentiating and “is” the difference. We ourselves do not first make the differentiation. Instead, we follow it, and this following first gives us understanding in general. We can follow only insofar as we sojourn in this.
Once summon up the effort even only to ignore these assurances, since the emptiness, sacrificing to the idol of “remainderlessness,” lets everything sink into nothingness. If one may speak of a “mission” at all, then it is only out of a knowledge of the beginning. The mission is then the consignment of beyng to the essence of the human being and accordingly is not anything this being first has to dispose of. In the age of history in which beyng illuminates its more original beginning, the.
Is the meaning of appropriation into “being”? And what “is” the beingless? Must that not already “be” “in some way,” before the appropriating event eventuates, if we are not to speak everywhere of the created, the self-emergent, or the eternally actual? Does not what is beingless constitute at the same time the last word to be said? Then it is in advance, in the metaphysical tradition, necessarily misinterpreted. The appropriating event “is,” “the fact that” humans “are,” which now means.
Emergence which conceals the inceptuality, without paying attention to this concealment itself. The pure decidedness of the appropriation into the thinking of the inceptuality—event and reception. Talk of the first and the other beginning already says too much, insofar as the so-called first beginning still does not essentially occur in full inceptuality. And nevertheless is not emergence the advent of the beginning? Yet advent is not the same as staying. Staying occurs inceptually only in the.
