Example text

To dvm as qrumc; ttc;-a sort of governing from out of and in itself. Accordingly. common ~o all the various ways. and which cultivates a community-with these so that these many are all of the same root and origin. The ov is so little depril'ed <~(unity through the 7tOAMxXcix; that, to the colltrary, it could ahsolutely nel'er be what it is without the tv. Indeed. ov and tv are different conceptually. but in their essence they are the same. that is. they belong together. Aristotle gives precise definition to this original belonging together of the two.

Aristotle speaks of the final and highest unity of being in this fashion; see 1003a27 in Met. r (IV) I. 1003a27 (and 24 Introduction n many other passages): to ov ov. to dvm as qrumc; ttc;-a sort of governing from out of and in itself. Accordingly. common ~o all the various ways. and which cultivates a community-with these so that these many are all of the same root and origin. The ov is so little depril'ed <~(unity through the 7tOAMxXcix; that, to the colltrary, it could ahsolutely nel'er be what it is without the tv.

That we do so when expressly inquiring about beings is, however, to say the least, peculiar. Or is the question really not about beings at all? Yet Aristotle and the philosophers preceding him certainly do ask expressly about this. Or is this simple questioning not enough? Is it only an initial approach that subsequently comes to a standstill? Being and beings-still to make a distinction here or even to want to raise a question, is this not unwarranted, futile quibbling? Beings and ways of being we know; they delight and distress us, they cause us no end of anguish and disappointment; and, of course, we are beings ourselves.
