EREIGNIS: SIX THESES

Thomas Sheehan

2. EREIGNIS / AP-PROPRI-ATION: THE BRINGING OF DASEIN INTO ITS OWN, ITS ESSENCE.

Latin: ad + propriare: to bring something ad proprium, to its proper state of being. Dasein is ereignet, i.e., has always-already been brought into its own as the thrown-open clearing.
2.1 . . . das Er-eignis des Daseins, wodurch dieses dann geeignet wird (GA 94: 448.31)
. . . the ap-propri-ation of Dasein, whereby Dasein is then brought into its own.
2.2 Hier ist das Ereignis auf den Menschen zu gesehen, der aus ihm als Dasein bestimmt wird (GA 65: 407, note).
Here Ereignis is viewed with respect to the human being, who is determined as Dasein on the basis of Ereignis. (ET 322 note 1).
2.3 Das Ereignis verleiht den Sterblichen den Aufenthalt in ihrem Wesen (GA 12: 248.6–7).
Ereignis grants mortals their sojourn in their essence. (ET 128.19–20).
2.4 Das Ereignis ist das Gesetz, insofern es die Sterblichen in das Ereignen zu ihrem Wesen versammelt und darin hält. (GA 12: 248.15–16).
Ereignis is the law insofar as it gathers mortals into their appropriation to their essence and maintains them therein. (ET 128.29–129.1).
2.5 . . . daß sie [= die Vereignung] das Menschenwesen in sein Eigenes entläßt (GA 12: 249.5–6).
[the fact] that appropriation [= Vereignung] releases the essence of human being unto its own. (ET 129.13).
