Notes
Through careful exegesis and sensitivity to the multiple voices in a text, Coyne shows that the existential categories of Being and Time explode because they are not adequate to the de-theologized remnants of religious life harbored in the text. In other words, according to Coyne, Heidegger’s de-theologization of the Pauline and Augustinian text allows him to appropriate forms of life to the philosophical project of Being and Time that cannot be fully contained by this project. The theological remnant in Heidegger’s text thus works at cross-purposes to the declared intention of the work, the very work it enables.
It might be something more akin to patience that keeps open a clearing wherein it finds itself (thrown into) rather than makes. The supposed post-Kehre shift to restraint and releasement might already reside in anticipatory resoluteness, then.
