is actuality, but the actuality of δυνάμει, of possibility, i.e., of non-actuality—actuality of inactuality: a contradiction—and he even lets it stand—antinomy, dialectic! That sounds very ingenious, but there is nothing to it except thoughtlessness, or perhaps something else: irresponsibility to history.
Κίνησις not παρά, but “in” the aforementioned how of the there. “In”: cf. ἐκείνινον. Movement is there like wood in a chest, but it cannot itself be like wood to earth and water, it is itself a there-character, mode of being-at-hand. As how of the there, arrested “that,” even said ontologically that these are themselves διχῶς: κίνησις—δυνάμει καὶ ἐντελεχείᾳ.135 Insofar as a being is there in the how of being-moved, it has the character of the categories, more precisely the four categories mentioned above, and these διχῶς.
A being that is there as δυνάμει, present, in presence, there now in this being-thus—we then say: “It is built,”136 it is there through alteration. Here, on the basis of the type of explication already evident, the way that movement is understood as a determinate being-present. And this altering itself, becoming-altered in altering is οἰκοδόμησις.137 Altering something, ποιοῦν—to be itself in alteration, πάσχον. To understand on the basis of explication? Being-present: ever altering itself, itself but also another, occurring but with me—to be related from itself. Something warm alters something cold, it is there altering in the mode of changing itself, becoming cold.
Not just any ἐντελέχεια, absence even of the non-moved, but rather τότε—ὅταν, αὕτη, “neither before nor after,”138 but then, in the now. ὁτὲ μὲν ἐνεργεῖν ὁτὲ δὲ μή:139 “to be in work,” being-present now of δυνάμει. This being-now-present of δυνάμει is a limiting case: being-now-present of δυνάμει as rest (rest and now, presence {Anwesenheit} and time). Rest is primarily grounded therein since resting is a how of the there of a being in work, a being taken into work. Already having-been-completed rests there, can rest. Rest is constitutive of this there, i.e., meaningfulness.
Ἐνέργεια, “being-in-work,” being-there in becoming-produced. The hermeneutic fact of the matter: I and you, we are not concerned with it, and yet it is there, it happens, is concerned with itself, is there arising, and the like—to come from itself into presence and, e.g., to rest therein—reality. Φύσις characterizes a being that is: to be in itself the worker of itself.
Οἰκία: for the “house,” being-there as being-completed—οἰκοδόμησις, which ἐνέργεια. Ἐνέργεια, particularly being-there as being-uncompleted, a how of the there of ἐντελέχεια.
How of the there of something: how does “being-in-work” come to this
