Correspondence interprets being as presence. Unconcealing sees being as
"being moved"; but didn't Aristotle see this with energeia? "Being moved"
is the energeia of a dunamis as a dunamis. Maybe Heidegger didn't
properly appreciate Aristotle's fundamental insight, even if he could
name it (i.e. being as energeia). Oh well, at least I agree with
Heidegger that we should all be studying Aristotle for 10 or 15 years
in order to approach the task of thinking!
