( varphi upsilon 'sigma iota zeta ) to Gestell.⁴ In what manner? How does Being show itself so as to simultaneously conceal itself? How is Being's truth (( mathop alpha limits^, lambda eta ' heta varepsilon iota alpha )) at the same time untruth — withdrawal or refusal? Beginning with the Platonic ( mathop iota limits^, delta varepsilon 'alpha ) — in fact, even to ( varphi upsilon 'sigma iota zeta ) belongs concealment — that is, beginning with beingness as ( mathop iota limits^, delta varepsilon 'alpha ), Being as Being has held itself concealed in the manner, however, of "arriving"⁵ in distinct modes of beingness.⁶ Beingness is the traditional, metaphysical manner of Being's presence,⁷ the traditional showing of Being itself — that as which Being reveals itself but such that this revealing is at once a self-concealing. Thus Being accords itself by notfully according itself, and consequently the significance of the "negative" as self-preserving concealment, a "negative" which isnot to suggest deficiency. Rather, the "negative" of Being, its self-unconcealing as concealment, is Being's "surplus" ("Überschuß") or plentitude.⁸" /> The notion of Geschick - Loscerbo John | sdvig press
