Abstract

Another re-trieve! Heidegger seeks to disengage the un-said from a fragment of Heraclitus to the effect that the common denominator of all Heraclitus’ most characteristic terms lies in the fact that the Being-to-be-thought in foundational thinking is negatived.

  6. “… Weil ihr Verhältnis zur Lichtung nichts anderes ist als die Lichtung selber, insofern diese die Götter und Menschen in die Lichtung einsammelt und einbehält.” (VA, p. 278). Heidegger speaks (p. 278) of the “e-vent” (Ereignis) of truth as “appropriating” (vereignet) There-being. This terminology will be thematized very soon.
