We have now come to the real question. Why should being, conceived of as univocity or immanence, receive the name of "life"? Why should being as power be the "powerful inorganic life that grips the world"? In philosophy, assigning the name of being is a crucial decision. It expresses the very nature of thought. Even the name "being", if chosen as the name of being, harbours a decision that is by no mean tautological, as can be readily seen in Heidegger. And of course any name of being conditions the further nominations that it induces. Thus in Heidegger we witness the turning movement that envelops and displaces Sein, Dasein, and, at the end of the line, Ereignis.
