The Geotrauma and the History of Beyng

Abstract

Heidegger criticizes the metaphysics of subjectivity - the question of the will to power, for example, which seems to lead to a major problem for the author, which would be precisely the total intelligibility of reality (an exercise undoubtedly operated by capitalism). However, despite criticizing subjectivity, the autor does not remove from the human his exceptionality in relation to other beings (such as animals and stones). In fact, only in the human can the turn (the second beginning) take place. The idea that such an event can occur only in the human makes me think about how Heidegger's ideas, in spite of what he expected, feed a form of exclusion from the other through the same, very similar to that articulated by capitalism (mainly in its late and contemporary form). Capitalism and metaphysics, therefore, would be two sides of the same coin. In this essay, I would like to (re) think the Heideggerian “anthropological machine” concept in the light of the concepts of geotrauma, geontopower and geontology, in an attempt to speculate about the intrusion of Humus in what Heidegger calls the History of Beyng, an essential movement for the second start.
