67. Machination and lived experience
Machination as the sovereignty of making and of the realm of what is made. Yet that is not to be thought of in the sense of human activity and busyness and their management; on the contrary, such activity, in its unconditionality and exclusivity, is possible only on the basis of machination. "Machination" is the name for a specific truth of beings (of the beingness of beings). We grasp this beingness first and foremost as objectivity (beings as objects of representation), but machination, since it is related to τέχνη, grasps this beingness more profoundly, more primordially. Machination includes at the same time the Christian-biblical interpretation of every being as an ens creatum, whether this is now taken in a religious or secular sense.
The emergence of the machinational essence of beings is historically very difficult to grasp, because that essence has been in effect basically since the first beginning of Western thought (more precisely, since the collapse of ἀλήθεια).
The step taken by Descartes is already a first consequence, the decisive one, the effective one, whereby machination comes into sovereignty as a transformed truth (correctness), i.e., as certainty.
The machinational essence in the form of ens as ens certum is to be shown first. In the course of the overcoming of metaphysics, the certum must be interpreted on the basis of the machinational and thereby the latter must be decisively determined.
Further consequences: the mathematical and the system and, in unity with them, "technology."
"Lived experience" stands in long withheld, and now finally emerging, correspondence to machination (ποίησις—τέχνη—κίνησις ["motion"] —νοῦς).
Both names designate the history of truth and of beingness as the history of the first beginning.
What does machination mean? That which is released to its own fettering. What are the fetters? The schema of thorough and calculable explainability, whereby everything draws equally close together to everything else and becomes completely foreign to itself,
