Heidegger Never Got Beyond Facticity

(1) The “thing itself” of Heidegger’s thinking was Ereignis. (2) But Ereignis is a reinscription of what Being and Time had called thrownness or facticity. (3) But facticity/Ereignis is exsistence’s everoperative appropriation to its proper structure as the ontological “space” or “clearing” that makes possible practical and theoretical discursivity. (4) Such facticity is the ultimate and inevitable presupposition of all activities of exsistence and thus of any understanding of being. (5) Therefore, for exsistence – and a fortiori for Heidegger as a thinker of Ereignis – there can be no going beyond facticity.
