"Metaphysics asks: ** ** **(Aristotle) : what is being? Starting from being, it asks for the Being of beings. What in beings is in being? In what does the Being of beings consist? With reference to time, this is to say: manner of inquiry, time is conceived as something that in some way is, something that is in being, and so the question of its Being is raised. ...... "In being" means: being present. Beings are more in being the more present they are. Beings come to be more present, the more abidingly they abide, the more lasting the abiding is. What in time is present, and therefore of present? Only the "now" is of the present time at each given moment." (pp. 100~101)
(((((((((( "Today's reckoning in sports, for instance, with tenth of seconds, in modern physics even with millionths of tiem, and thus gain time; such reckoning is on the contrary the surest way to lose essential time, and so to 'have' always less time. Thought out more precisely: the growing loss of time is not caused by such a time reckoning---rather, this time reckoning began at that moment when man suddenly became un-restful because he had no more time. That moment is the beginning of the modern age." (p. 100) ))))))))))
"What in time is in being, present? The 'now' of the given moment. But each 'now' is in its present being by virtue of its passing. Future and past are not present, they are something of which we may never say simply that they are being present. According to Aristotle, therefore, the future ad the past are a ** ** **, and by no means an ** *** **, something that is entirely without being, they are something that lack presence." (p. 102)
"The essnetial nature of time is here conceived in the light Being and, let us note it well, of a totally specific interpretation of 'Being'---Being as being present. This interpretation of Being has been current so long that we regard it as self-evident.
Since in all metaphysics from the beginning of Western thought, Being means being present, Being, if it is to be thought in the highest instance, must be thought as pure presence, that is, as the presence that persists, the abiding present, the steadily standing 'now.' Medieval thought speaks of nunc stans. But that is the interpretation of the nature of eternity." (p. 102)
<Here in this chapter, Heidegger starts to explain the essential relationship between Being and Time by way of Being as abiding presence, that is to say, which persists against(?) the passing of time. And, in regard with Being, Heidegger explains will as Being in Nietzschean term.>
"Revenge, for Nietzsche, is the will's revulsion against time. This now means : revenge is the will's revulsion against the passing away and what has passed away, against time and its 'it was.' The revulsion turns not against the mere passing, but against that passing away which allows what has passed to be only in the past, which lets it freeze in the finality of this rigor mortis. ...... The revulsion of revenge remains chained to this 'it was'; just as there lies concealed in all hatred the abysmal dependence upon that from which hatred desires to make itself independent---but never can, and can all the less the more it hates." (pp. 103~104)
<Here we can get the definition of Revenge more precise. It is the will's revulsion against RIGOR MORTIS.>
"The will becomes free from its revulsion against time, against time's mere past, when it steadily wills the going and coming, this going and coming back, of everything. The will becomes free from what is revolting in the 'it was' when it wills the constant recurrence of every 'it was.' The will is delivered from revulsion when it wills the constant recurrencee of the same. Then the will wills the eternity of what is willed. The will wills its own eternity. ...... Deliverance from revenge is the transition, from the will's revulsion against time and tis 'It was,' to the will that eternally wills the recurrence of the same and in this willing wills itself as its own ground. Deliverance from revenge is the transition to the primal being of all beings."(p. 104)
<Will, as primal being, recurs. It is the recurrence of the same. Will wills the past to be recurred, or revived, in a way will wills. Thus will fulfill the willing of its own, finally the will itself.>
<It seems, we can find much of Heidegger's basic thought, but we still cannot fully understand his thinking. We still have the problematic, the relation between Being and Superman and so on. We can find, however,a base to start.>
