For Heidegger the “Same” is a unity that-far from being abstract and simple-is rather a together that involves a reciprocal relation of belonging. That unity of belonging together springs out of the disclosing bringing-into-its-own (Ereignis) that is the unique bringing-to-pass that takes place within Being itself (cf. The Turning, QCT p. 45 ff.). It holds sway in the primal relatings of-Being and what is, and of Being and man. Thus the Same is that very difference, that separating-between (Unter-Schied), out of which Being and what is endure as present in their differentiating, which is an indissoluble relating. And again, “thinking and Being belong together into the Same and from out of the Same.” (See “The Principle of Identity,” in Identity and Difference, pp. 27 ff., 90 ff.) Thus the Same of which Heidegger here speaks is the Same in the sense of the belonging together that rules in the modes of the destining of the Being of what is, and that concerns a thinking that apprehends that Being as determined out of that unity which gives distinctiveness while uniting. (See “The Onto-theo-logical Constitution of Metaphysics,” in Identity and Difference, pp. 64 ff., 133 ff.) (QCT 57)
