Heidegger most clearly attempts this in Contributions to Philosophy (of the Event) and D\u014dgen in his Sh\u014db\u014dgenz\u014d, a collection of fascicles which he compiled in his lifetime. Both thinkers draw us towards thinking, instead of merely defining systems of thought. Both Heidegger and D\u014dgen imagine possibilities not apparent in the world we currently inhabit, but notably, find possible, through a refashioning of thinking as a soteriological reimagining that clears space for the presencing of an authentic experience in the space which emerges between certainties. Jenkins elucidates this soteriological reimagining through a close reading of both authors\u2019 conceptions of time and space, and by developing a practice of listening that is attuned to the echoes that resonate between the two thinkers.<\/jats:p>\n While Heidegger often wrote about new beginnings (as well as about gathering oneself, preparing the site, clearings, and practicing) in preparation for the evental un-concealing of truth, nowhere is this as present as in the enigmatic, difficult, and in fact beautiful, Contributions. To call a text beautiful, especially a work of philosophy, risks committing an act of disingenuity, and yet Contributions, like Jacques Derrida\u2019s Glas or Walter Benjamin\u2019s unfinished Arcades Project, rises to this acclaim through its very resistance to a system, its refusal to be easily digested, or even understood. Contributions is unfinished, partial, even at times muttered; it is the beginning of a thinking which takes place on a path and as such cannot imagine\u2014or refuse\u2014its final destination. It invites us to take up towards, but not to insist on, its thinking; it is a \u201cturn\u201d away from the reason and logic of a technologized world and returns philosophy\u2014as a thinking\u2014to a place of wonder and awe.<\/jats:p>\n D\u014dgen\u2019s Sh\u014dbogenz\u014d, from another culture and time entirely, is also a beautiful text, for similar reasons. The Sh\u014dbogenz\u014d, gathered first as a series of talks given by Eihei D\u014dgen (and later composed as written texts) details the process of understanding which leads, for D\u014dgen, to a position of pure seeing, or satori, and yet these talks are not simply rules for monks, nor merely imprecations and demands for a laity; rather, they open a being\u2019s thinking to the possibility of something purely other and work as a transition across worlds that also opens us to an other world.<\/jats:p>\n What both thinkers illustrate, as do the other thinkers drawn on in this project\u2014most notably, those philosophers associated with the Kyoto School, who were both intimately aware of D\u014dgen\u2019s work, and studied, or studied with, Heidegger\u2014is that world is not a fixed, stable entity; rather it is a fugal composition of possibility, of as yet untraversed\u2014and at times un-traversable\u2014spaces. Echoes of No Thing seeks to examine, within the lacunal eddies of be-coming\u2019s arrival, that space between which both thinkers point towards as possible sites of new beginnings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.21983\/p3.0239.1.00","type":"monograph","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,26]],"date-time":"2025-04-26T08:03:45Z","timestamp":1745654625000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Echoes of No Thing"],"prefix":"10.21983","author":[{"given":"Nico","family":"Jenkins","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/05rp6gx35","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Husson University"},{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/01adr0w49","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"University of Maine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"31179","reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1353\/jjs.2006.0003.199"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1206331209337080"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1353\/pew.2004.0029"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1353\/pew.2003.0057"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1353\/pew.2012.0033"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1353\/pew.2008.0009"}],"container-title":[],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/books.punctumbooks.com\/10.21983\/P3.0239.1.00.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/books.punctumbooks.com\/10.21983\/P3.0239.1.00.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,2]],"date-time":"2026-06-02T10:13:23Z","timestamp":1780395203000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/punctumbooks.com\/titles\/echoes-of-no-thing-thinking-between-heidegger-and-dogen\/"}},"subtitle":["Thinking between Heidegger and D\u014dgen"],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,4]]},"ISBN":["9781950192014","9781950192021"],"references-count":6,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.21983\/p3.0239.1.00","relation":{},"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,4]]}}}
