An absence can be no less gripping than a presence. Moreover, while nothing is fully present to us, whatever is present necessitates the absence of something else and vice versa. In this way, absence and presence are co-dependent. To be is to be present to someone, but never exhaustively. In addition, the presence itself is typically absent from our consideration as we concern ourselves with what is present. By misconstruing how beings are dynamically present and absent, traditional equations of being with presence have led to construing being as abstract and universal, if not simply empty or indeterminable. SZ first attempts to address this tradition by demonstrating how time, including but not equated with the present, provides the sense of being of our being-here (Dasein). Heidegger’s mature writings emphasize how Western indifference and obliviousness to being in favor of beings is due to the fact that being (presence) absents itself from the beginning of Western thinking, albeit not without a trace.
