The photograph allows us to identify relatively clearly various features of a window within the glow worm’s field of vision. The insect’s eye, Heidegger comments, is capable of forming an image or “view” of the window. But does this tell us what the glow worm sees? “Not at all. From what the organ accomplishes we cannot at all determine the capacity for seeing, nor the way in which whatever is accomplished by the organ is taken into the service of the potentiality for seeing” (336). Indeed, we cannot even begin to problematize the relationship between this insect’s eye as organ and its capacity for seeing until we have considered the glow worm’s environment, and the way in which the animal in general can have an environment.
According to this teleology, the Being of the living entity or organism constitutes an end in itself. 6 This end is both origin and telos of every moment of living activity; it is origin and telos of itself, of its own Being and subsisting qua living. This schema of a “practical,” internal teleology is indeed that proposed by Aristotle in his classical treatise on the essence of life, the De Anima. Although he initially appeals to “technical” analogies to approach the issue of life, Aristotle is careful to emphasize that these are merely analogies, which are not appropriate to char- THE PHENOMENON OF LIFE 15 acterizing the nature of the living.
The organs are bound to THE PHENOMENON OF LIFE 9 the duration and time of life, the time of the living organism itself, and not in the first instance to an objectively ascertainable time (the time of something present at hand). The organs are bound to the lifetime and life process of the organism, to its capacity for living. Heidegger examines various cases of protoplasmic organisms because they are best suited philosophically to the task of understanding the essence of the organ and its relation to the organism.
