    "abstract": "Heidegger’s Ereignis is hotly contested, yet foundational for contemporary philosophies of the event. I propose that it is “the event of being’s ruptured unfolding.” I do so by analyzing three concepts through key passages between Contributions to Philosophy (Of the Event) and “The Turning”: (1) the shift from essence (Wesen) to essences (west) in the phrase “Be-ing essences as the event,” in relation to time-space; (2) the retention of both historical and homonymous etymological meanings of Ereignis in the phrase “The event is appropriatingly brought into view (Ereignis ist eignende Eräugnis),” in relation to truth; and (3) the nuance of “rupture” in the phrase “fissure…is the splitting open of the essential unfolding of be-ing,” in relation to decision. Analyzing these concepts and passages distills the historical and ontological senses of Ereignis: the founding of epochs, on the one hand, and original determinations out of the essencing of be-ing, on the other."
