Daniela Vallega-Neu on the changes from
Contributions to
Event.
In The Event [Heidegger] criticizes the notion of Da-sein in Contributions, and says, "Da-sein is
certainly thought essentially out of the event, and yet it is thought too one-sidely
with reference to the human being" (GA 71: 5). This and the fact that Dasein in
Being and Time designates primarily human being so much that it invited a
misinterpretation of Dasein as subject, are the reasons that I believe one ought to
translate Da-sein with "being-there" or "there-being." Being-there is the open site,
the time-space of the unconcealing concealment of being, of withdrawal and
eventuation of the event. All this does not occur without the human, without an
attuned, steadfastness (Inständigkeit) or ek-sistence, a "being" in the openness of
the "there" of beyng. To speak "of" the event is an effort to speak what gives
itself in a responsive listening to what addresses thinking. In this dimension of
creative thinking, there is no differentiation of thinking and what is thought, no
differentiation of subject and object but a turning event in which differencing
and encounter of various dimensions come to be. In Contributions, Heidegger
highlights in Da-sein sometimes the "Da-," that is, the disclosure of the truth of
being, and other times, the "-sein," the being of the there, which is how humans
are when they stand in the openness of the truth of being. But nowhere in Contributions
can we find Heidegger saying what he says in The Event: "Experienced in
terms of the historicality of being, 'Da-sein' is the name for beyng which is thought
out of the essential occurrence of its truth" (GA 71: 140). In this later volume
Heidegger thinks Da-sein more radically out of the truth of beyng and not
primarily in relation to human being.
