“What is present comes to presence in a coming forth and a going away. Even φθορά is γίνεσθαι: coming forth, a kind of φύσις, emergence—disappearance—going down. The quintessence of γένεσις as φύσις is transition, the unity of coming forth and passing away, and the latter essentially occurs in the same, in ἀλήθεια, because ἀλήθεια is conjointly and essentially concealment—withdrawal into concealing. This transition is the presencing which, however, now remains precisely hidden in favor of the presence of that which is present, that which is beaten into limits and as such is then pursued and dispelled in change. The transition will not be involved in the entrenchment of what comes to presence. The transition preserves the ἄπειρον. Presence is transitionally the gathered-gathering peak of φύσις, i.e., of unconcealedness. Presence must be experienced aletheiologically and not metaphysically in terms of the constant and the objectively present. Then it becomes clear that “being” pervades not the factor of duration of objective presence but, rather, the unique gatheredness of the emerging-perishing disconcealment.”
― Martin Heidegger, The Event
