Summary:Two traps currently ensnare Heideggerian scholarship: the “language trap” and the “being trap.” To avoid them, the text argues we should follow Heidegger’s important indication that movement (aka ex-sistential becoming or Zeit) determines all forms of meaning (aka the significance of things or Sein). This requires a radical rewriting of the terminology and the structure of Zeitlichkeit in § 65 of Sein und Zeit. The text also argues for moving beyond Heidegger’s early and late formulations of fundamental ontology and into a metaontological ethics that would apply to the economic, social, and political worlds in which we live our daily lives.
