For Heidegger, to experience and think being as such in its finite temporality necessitates that one exist in exposure to one’s own possibility of death. In the thirties, when he thinks of being in its historical eventuation, the question of death is embedded in the larger question of the history of being, specifically the question of the closure of the history of being in the West in the dominance of machination and the related possibility of another inception of the history of being. This essay will explore the relation between being (beyond the human), death, and machination in Heidegger’s thought of the thirties and forties. It ends with three insights both with and in departure from Heidegger: (1) how exposure to death wakes us up to being in its singular (and plural) happening; (2) how our relation to death and being is determined historically; (3) how death exposes us to dimensions of existence beyond history.
