From Time & Being, page 7 of the Joan Stambaugh translation: "But what gives us the right to characterize Being as presencing? This question comes too late. For this character of Bing has long since been decided without our contribution, let along our merit. Thus we are bound to the characterization of Being as presencing." Here, and a little later in the paragraph, Heidegger seems to bes telling us that Being as presencing is "Ever since the beginning of Western thinking with the Greeks...[and also]...holds true of the thinking that directs the most modern technology and industry..." "But..." she continues; "... we do not by any means perceive Being as presencing exclusively, primarily in the remembrance of the early presentation of the unconcealment of Being accomplished by the Greeks." It might help if you can refer me to the specific pararaph. Problem is that I only have the Stambaugh translation of "On time and Being".
