Dear Friends, Heidegger starts GA 65 with the following statement: (first lines of the first section) "Die "žBeiträge" fragen in einer Bahn, die durch den übergang zum anderen Anfang, in den jetzt das abendländische Denken einrückt, erst gebahnt wird. Diese Bahn bringt den übergang ins Offene der Geschichte und begründet ihn als einen vielleicht sehr langen Aufenthalt, in dessen Vollzug der andere Anfang des Denkens immer nur das Geahnte aber doch schon Entschiedene bleibt." "Contributions to Philosophy enact a questioning along a pathway which is first traced out by the crossing to the other beginning, into which Western thinking is now entering. This pathway brings the crossing into the openness of history and establishes the crossing as perhaps a very long sojourn, in the enactment of which the other beginning of thinking always remains only intimation, though already decisive." What is the nature of the other beginning? In the future we are going to see the following works: GA 70 über den Anfang (1941)(about 300 pages). GA 72 Die Stege des Anfangs (1944)(about 300 pages). Is this other begining simply the Sinn von Sein or the Wahrheit des Seyns (i.e. Heidegger) or is there more too it than that? Joseph Fell in 1971 seems to suggest that the other beginnig is the Ge-Stell and Geviert. What do we know now that he did not know then or is he right? Thoughts? Reflections? Musings? Yours, Daniel Ferrer. | ||

I'd venture to say der andere Anfang points over Bds. 70 and 72 hither, to our role as Schaffende faced (perhaps yet for hundreds of years) with an Entscheidung. The character, therefore, of the second Anfang, whether or not "simply [...] the Wahrheit des Seyns", remains yet to be determined; but this much is clear: that we, as deciders at the cusp of the end of the transition, must ourselves determine the nature of the beginning which Heidegger himself had prepared, and that in line with the law of καιÏός (kairos), that negative counterpart to our violent listening. F.-W. v. Herrmann (1) points us to the concurrent Freiburger Vorlesung from Wintersemester 1937/38 (2): quote: Heidegger continues: quote: In 1935 (3), one year before the incipient drafting of the Beiträge, Heidegger motions to a new Erfahrung of Sein whose preparation distinguishes it groundly from the prenominate Entscheidung in its violent positivity: quote: Best, Peter (1) Wege ins Ereignis. Klostermann, 1994, S. 79. (2) Grundfragen der Philosophie, GA Bd. 45. Klostermann, 1984 (1992). Thus younger than the Fell citation, and probably inaccessible . (3) Einführung in die Metaphysik. Neske, 1998. | |||
