Froyd.net reads Jacques Derrida's Given Time.
Still one must forget something and not nothing. Derrida draws on Heidegger again in describing how this forgetting is the "condition of Being and the truth of Being". This notion of forgetting makes it so Being and time are brought together in relation, and are conditioned together with each other by the "there is" (es gibt) and the "it gives". It is in the very concept of "giving" that "there is Being" and "there is time". The gift itself is the "there is". Heidegger asks about the nature of the "gift or the 'there is' that relates time to Being," conditioning them one to the other. The "there is" brings Being and time together in relation as a result of a gift. To try to think about Being and time properly it is necessary to "see" this relation of giving. Derrida points to a circular thinking in trying to find the "proper" in the gift, Being, and time. When one seeks to think about the gift, Being, and time in their "own element" that is, properly, one is already desiring the proper, it is a "desire to accede to the property of the proper".
