Richard Macksey and Eugenio Donato, The Sructuralist Controversy , ed. There are thus two interpretations of interpretation, of structure, of sign, of freeplay. The one seeks to decipher, dreams of deciphering, truth or an origin which is free from freeplay and from the order of the sign, and lives like an exile the necessity of interpretation. Here there is a sort of question, call it historical, of which we are only glimpsing today the conception, the formation, the gestation, the labor. Joan Stambaugh, ed.
Philosophy is metaphysics.
Metaphysics thins beings as being in the manner of representational thinking which gives reasons. The ground is that from which beings as such are what they are in their becoming, perishing, and persisting as something that can be known, handled, and worked upon. As the ground, Being brings beings to their actual presencing. The ground shows itself as presence. The present of presence consists in the fact that it brings what is present each in its own way to presence.
