246. The basic dispositions of the history of beyng
| Wonder |
(the first beginning) the beginning in emergence—φύσις itself. |
| Astonishment | (the start of metaphysics) |
| Shock |
(transition)— freedom the pain of question-worthiness. |
| Thanking | (obedience to the other beginning). |
| Diffidence | (appropriation into obedience) the steadfastness of harkening, integration into hearing, pliancy. |
In thanking, we are first disposed in advance for thinking and poetizing and for their future truth with respect to the history of beyng. Thanking and greetedness.
Greeting and event.
The beginning.
247. The basic dispositions of the history of beyng
Disposition is the name for the dispositional effect of the voice of beyng. This voice is so called because it is what is audible for hearing as the harkening of the obeying for an inceptual obedience, the pliancy which is itself uniquely historical and as such is also already uniquely determined.
The audibility of obedience.
Diffidence; its preservation is thanking.
Thanking at the same time again greetedness.
The audible as the perceivable of a greeting.
Thus not a disposition merely distinguished, but now in general the dispositional essence of the truth of beyng first brought into the open and into knowledge.
Only out of this unique disposition the essence of “dispositions” essential; in terms of the history of beyng; the truth of nothingness; anxiety. Anxiety and diffidence and Da-sein as care.
To what extent the voice is what determines. What is determinable— in disposing first attuned? i.e., raised into the essence? Da-sein and its steadfastness.
(“Dispositions” also in Being and Time already distinctive characters of “Dasein,” the latter determined completely with respect to being and the question of being, never anthropologically.
Beyng and nothingness
Nothingness and anxiety.
