One of an important philosophers of the 20th century, Martin Heidegger used to be essentially all in favour of the ‘question of Being.’ notwithstanding, contemporary scholarship has tended to marginalize the significance of the identify of Being in his concept. via a targeted studying of Heidegger's texts, and particularly his past due and sometimes missed Four Seminars (1966-1973), Richard Capobianco counters this development by means of redirecting awareness to the centrality of the identify of Being in Heidegger's life of thought.
Capobianco offers exact awareness to Heidegger's resonant phrases Ereignis and Lichtung and reads them as announcing and displaying the exact same basic phenomenon named ‘Being itself ’. Written in a transparent and approachable demeanour, the essays in Engaging Heidegger study Heidegger's idea in view of historic Greek, medieval, and japanese considering, they usually draw out the deeply humane personality of his ‘meditative thinking.’

Example text
Now, if das Sein des Seienden refers only to the ‘beingness of beings,’ then certainly Sein could never have been die Sache selbst for Heidegger. However, he was not always helpful in his use of this particular phrase over the many years of his discourse; often he used it to name the fundamental matter for thought, yet just as often – and especially in the later work – he used it as a shorthand way to refer to the core concern of metaphysics. Here is not the place to document in detail the history of this small but significant expression in Heidegger’s thinking, but it is important to cite several texts that highlight his often inconsistent use of the phrase.

I translate Anwesen as ‘presenc(ing)’ here because Heidegger uses Anwesen in this particular formulation not as the name for Being as Being (Being itself), but rather, as the marker for what emerges into presence – beings in their beingness. Thus, Heidegger’s position is that Being as Being lets presenc(ing), that is, lets beings. The Greek thinkers, who in their attentiveness were ‘more Greek than the Greeks,’ had a glancing insight into Being as Being, Being as Aletheia, Being as Logos – and that also meant Being as Anwesen lassen.
