Summary:

What if, held within the dominant paradigms of Aristotelian substance metaphysics, of Kantian ego-objectifying-subjectivity, and of reductionist technique's disposability, there is another possibility? What if, within things as substance, as object, and as disposable, it is possible to revision, rethink, and resay things as things, i.e., as standing forth for what they are in the gathering of the world that they manifest and co-unfold?

What if this required of us a transformation in how we know, think, and language? What if Heidegger's possibility added a useful and necessary option to what calls forth thinking today, when thinking is engaged in the question of the way things are? May this work be useful to some thinkers at the edge. May it share in the work of the emergent shift in thinking and knowing awareness that is all around us today - and perhaps provide some sort of grounding?
