Concerning Certain Unpublished Letters Received by Friedrich-Wilhelm von Herrmann 272

projecting-open (Entwurf)15 of being – is as such being-thrown into the openness of being (the meaning of being).

[1v] […]



15 Projecting-open (Entwurf) mostly signifies the enactment of Dasein; in being-historical thought, however, the word has the meaning of a abground of the refusal or withholding of being (des sich ent-ziehenden Seins) which throws Dasein into the [open site] of its truth. This is how it is understood, for example, in section 13, paragraph 3, of the Contributions. As such “Entwurf” can be understood as Dasein’s hermeneutic enactment or as throwing-open and refusal (Wurf und Ent-wurf) of being itself.
