Heidegger und die Vorsokratiker

After the failure of "Sein und Zeit", Heidegger developed the idea of a different beginning of Western philosophy by means of the instrumentalising appropriation of the pre-Socratics. Via the intermediate step of a metontology, he moves further and further away from philosophical theoria and exposes himself to the activation of extra-theoretical binding forces that radicalise and disinhibit themselves as metapolitical intervention. This active empowerment of being is rewritten after the "Kehre" into a mundane soteriology that continues to work with Manichaean divisions and implies the annihilation of "the Other". It is shown that this thinking does not change structurally along the way, but merely changes its guise.
