«El contenido fundamental»: en alemán, Der Grundbestand (está destacado en el texto original, §67). La palabra Grundbestand, como todas las palabras en que aparece el término Bestand es de muy difícil traducción. Bestehen significa en alemán, entre otras cosas, estar hecho de, consistir en. El Grundbestand es, según esto, la consistencia fundamental (de la constitución del Dasein  ). Pero hay que entender esta «consistencia fundamental» como el conjunto unitario de todos aquellos momentos que conforman la constitución existencial del Dasein. Cuando traducimos, pues, «el contenido fundamental de la constitución existencial», estamos apuntando a ese conjunto unitario de momentos constitucionales que conforman al Dasein. [Rivera  ; STRivera:Notas]

O dis-ponível [Bestellte] tem seu próprio esteio. Nós o chamamos de dis-ponibilidade (Bestand). Esta palavra significa aqui mais e também algo mais essencial do que mera “provisão” [Vorrat]. A palavra “disponibilidade” [Bestand] se faz agora o nome de uma categoria. Designa nada mais nada menos do que o modo em que vige e vigora [Anwesen  ] tudo que o desencobrimento explorador [herausfordernden Entbergen  ] atingiu. No sentido da dis-ponibilidade, o que é já não está para nós em frente e defronte, como um objeto [Gegenstand  ]. [GA7CFS:20-21]

Quando tentamos aqui e agora mostrar a exploração [herausfordern  ] em que se desencobre [Entbergen  ] a técnica moderna, impõem-se e se acumulam, de maneira monótona, seca e penosa, as palavras “pôr” [stellen  ], “dis-por” [bestellen], “dis-posição”, “dis-positivo”, “dis-ponível”, “dis-ponibilidade” [Bestand], etc. Isso se funda, porém, na própria coisa que aqui nos vem à linguagem. [GA7PT  :21]

Bestand, ‘subsistence’ in the double sense of being and persistence, i.e., continued existence; it may also etymologically suggest a background presence that ‘stands under’ what is overtly present. Bestand is a ‘stock’ word in the vocabulary of Heidegger both early and late; in general, it serves as his focus on the classical problem of permanence and change, and the traditional conception of being as constant presence. But the immediate context relevant here is Husserl  ’s antipsychologistic distinction between the persistent sameness of ideal   being (sense) and the temporal   variability of the real acts which intend such sense, as is evident from the following semester’s course on Logik  : Die Frage   nach der Wahrheit  , Gesamtausgabe Volume 21, Marburger Vorlesung Wintersemester 1925-26, edited by Walter Biemel   (Frankfurt: Klostermann, 1976) pp. 50-56, 111-113. Here as well as in Being and Time   (H. 216) Heidegger raises the question of the ontological status of a relation which subsists purportedly between the real and the ideal. Likewise, the reader should bear in mind that in most contexts Bestand has been translated as ‘composition’ or, in the plural, ‘constituents.’ In some of these contexts, such as the initial description of ‘the categorial’ as ‘constituents in entities’ (48 above), Bestand seems also to carry the connotation of ‘subsistence,’ i.e., the type of being proper to the ‘ideal being’ of categories. [Kisiel  ; GA20TH:51-52]

NT: ‘Über seinen Bestand gibt es weder Kenntnis   noch Unkenntnis.’ The earlier editions have ‘Erkenntnis’ where the latter ones have ‘Unkenntnis’. The word ‘Bestand’ always presents difficulties in Heidegger; here it permits either of two interpretations, which we have deliberately steered between: ‘Whether there is any such thing, is neither known nor unknown’, and ‘What it comprises is something of which we have neither knowledge nor ignorance.’ [BTMR]

standing-reserve [QCTechno]

NT: Bestand ordinarily denotes a store or supply as "standing by." It carries the connotation of the verb bestehen with its dual meaning of to last   and to undergo. Heidegger uses the word to characterize the manner in which everything commanded into place and ordered according to the challenging demand ruling in modern technology presences as revealed. He wishes to stress here not   the permanency, but the orderability and substitutability of objects. Bestand contrasts with Gegenstand (object; that which stands over against). Objects indeed lose their character as objects when they are caught up in the "standing-reserve." [QCTechno]

dis-ponibilidade (tradução Carneiro Leão  ) fundo (tradução André Préau  )

Na tradução francesa da "Questão da Técnica", o seguinte parágrafo elucida a adoção de "fundo": "Então que espécie de des-encobrimento convém àquilo que se realiza pela interpelação pro-vocante? Aquilo que ser realiza assim é por toda parte compromissado a estar sobre-o-campo no lugar desejado, e a aí se encontrar de tal maneira que possa ser compromissado a sua própria posição-e-estabilidade (Stand). esta posição estável denominamos o "fundo" (Bestand). A palavra diz aqui mais que estoque e coisas mais essenciais. A palavra "fundo" está agora promovida à dignidade de um título (de uma denominação fundamental). Caracteriza nada menos que a maneira pela qual está presente tudo o que é atingido pelo des-encobrimento que pro-voca. O que aí está (steht) no sentido de fundo (Bestand) não mais está em face de nós como objeto (Gegenstand). [GA7]

In this sentence Heidegger has used no less than five words derived from the Indo-European base ‘st?-’ (Cf. English ‘stand’, Latin ‘stare’, German ‘stehen  ’): ‘Bestand’, ‘Substanz  ’, ‘Substantialität’, ‘Selbständigkeit’, ‘existierenden’. In each case we have used an English equivalent derived from the same base.

The important word ‘Bestand’, which we have here translated somewhat arbitrarily as ‘subsistence’, and have often handled elsewhere in other ways, corresponds to the verb ‘bestehen’ (‘to subsist’, ‘to remain’, ‘to consist in’, even ‘to exist’ in a broader sense than Heidegger’s). It thus may stand for ‘subsistence’ in the broadest sense, or more particularly for ‘continued subsistence’; and it may also stand for that of which something ‘consists’ – its ‘content’, the whole ‘stock’ of things of which it consists. This is the sense in which Heidegger most frequently uses it, especially in such phrases as ‘der phänomenale Bestand’ (‘the phenomenal content’, ‘the stock of phenomena’).

We have also somewhat arbitrarily translated ‘Selbständigkeit’ as ‘Self-subsistence’, in accordance with our translation of the adjective ‘selbständig’ on H. 291-292. But as we shall see later (H. 322), ‘Self-constancy’ would perhaps be more appropriate. [BTMR:351]
