Whereas the latter phenomenon is no doubt readily understood within the limits of our relation to Being, the former becomes intelligible only on the premise that that relation can be interrupted by a germ or seed of what it is not.
22 Further examples could no doubt be offered to support the idea of a theological turn, but, according to Jonkers, all of these examples sidestep important realities about the way in which these thinkers relate to the examples that they offer. What we find in these texts, Jonkers contends, is not an apologetic enterprise, but a heuristic one. ’’23 It is this sentiment that gives me pause as to how far apart Jonkers actually is from de Vries. 24 De Vries seems to be in agreement with the idea that the continental interest in theology does not positively advocate the doctrinal positions and creedal commitments of a particular faith, but is rather a helpful source for how to think after, or beyond, metaphysics.
A converse statement of the position brings us closer to the heart of the matter: our free comportment toward Being opens immediately onto beings, without a revelation of Being as Being. There is, in short, no external vantage point on our relation with beings, even if there is nonetheless a more primordial relation with Being. ’’ But then those affairs will be conducted without any sense of the mysterious condition of their own possibility. What ‘‘seems to work’’ will prove superficial and ill defined.
