sixfold

is structured thusly: Echo and playing-forth belong to the “soil,” thereby relating them to the earth that hides and shelters itself (past). By contrast, the leap and the grounding are defined as openness, thereby relating them to world (future). Finally, those who are to come and the last god belong at the center of this structure, unifying it (present).

One key to making such an escape is the strife between hidden earth and visible world that was mentioned in the artwork essay. Another key is the newly defined sixfold “jointure” of thinking, which is unified in a simple onefold. Each of the six terms names the same onefold. Heidegger makes it easy for us to arrange the six, since he begins with four of the terms, leaving the other two as their unifying center. Echo and playing-forth belong to what Heidegger calls “soil,” thereby relating them to the earth that hides and shelters itself (past). By contrast, the leap and the grounding are defined as openness, thereby relating them to world (future). Finally, those who are to come and the last god belong at the center of this structure, unifying it (present).
