Heidegger most clearly attempts this in Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) and D?gen in his Sh?b?genz?, a collection of fascicles which he compiled in his lifetime. Both thinkers draw us towards thinking, instead of merely defining systems of thought. Both Heidegger and D?gen imagine possibilities not apparent in the world we currently inhabit, but notably, find possible, through a refashioning of thinking as a soteriological reimagining that clears space for the presencing of an authentic experience in the space which emerges between certainties. Jenkins elucidates this soteriological reimagining through a close reading of both authors? conceptions of time and space, and by developing a practice of listening that is attuned to the echoes that resonate between the two thinkers. While Heidegger often wrote about new beginnings (as well as about gathering oneself, preparing the site, clearings, and practicing) in preparation for the evental un-concealing of truth, nowhere is this as present as in the enigmatic, difficult, and in fact beautiful, Contributions. To call a text beautiful, especially a work of philosophy, risks committing an act of disingenuity, and yet Contributions, like Jacques Derrida?s Glas or Walter Benjamin?s unfinished Arcades Project, rises to this acclaim through its very resistance to a system, its refusal to be easily digested, or even understood. Contributions is unfinished, partial, even at times muttered; it is the beginning of a thinking which takes place on a path and as such cannot imagine?or refuse?its final destination. It invites us to take up towards, but not to insist on, its thinking; it is a ?turn? away from the reason and logic of a technologized world and returns philosophy?as a thinking?to a place of wonder and awe. D?gen?s Sh?bogenz?, from another culture and time entirely, is also a beautiful text, for similar reasons. The Sh?bogenz?, gathered first as a series of talks given by Eihei D?gen (and later composed as written texts) details the process of understanding which leads, for D?gen, to a position of pure seeing, or satori, and yet these talks are not simply rules for monks, nor merely imprecations and demands for a laity; rather, they open a being?s thinking to the possibility of something purely other and work as a transition across worlds that also opens us to an other world. What both thinkers illustrate, as do the other thinkers drawn on in this project?most notably, those philosophers associated with the Kyoto School, who were both intimately aware of D?gen?s work, and studied, or studied with, Heidegger?is that world is not a fixed, stable entity; rather it is a fugal composition of possibility, of as yet untraversed?and at times un-traversable?spaces. Echoes of No Thing seeks to examine, within the lacunal eddies of be-coming?s arrival, that space between which both thinkers point towards as possible sites of new beginnings. 606 $aNothing (Philosophy) 610 $aAsian philosophy 610 $aEihei D?gen 610 $aMartin Heidegger 610 $acontinental philosophy 610 $acomparative philosophy 610 $aZen Buddhism 615 0$aNothing (Philosophy) 676 $a111.5092 700 $aJenkins$b Nico$f1970-$01250708 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910315230703321 996 $aEchoes of No Thing$92899183 997 $aUNINA
