Allen,

As an afterthought ... Biemel in Kockelmans' "On Heidgger 
and Language" (p 104 f.) and referring to "Time and 
Being":

"Heidegger [...] attempts to change language. This change,
taken from the viewpoint of metaphysics, may be
characterized as an overcoming [...], a new attaining of
a language for which we do not yet have a name. 
According to Heidegger this language is the language of
the e-vent."

Following Biemel, Heidegger conceives in "Time and Being"
Being as an event (cf. "Zur Sache des Denken" p 25). He
does has found a way between Scylla and Charybdis, i.e. 
between the metaphysical at one AND the non- or anti-
metaphysical at the other side.

Kindest regards,
Henk
