ABSTRACT

Writing on Time and Being is already a challenging task. Tracing the unfolding of sacrifice, the logic’s work, within it only compounds the already existent problems. The daunting difficulty of the text works to check any hasty evaluative move. The text’s opening as well as its final moment states then reiterates the difficulty. Consequently rather than just positing difficulty as though it existed in itself what is essential in this instance is Heidegger’s own formulation of difficulty. The passages in question need to be noted in order to identify the precision of the formulation.
