As shown in Le principe d’anarchie. Heidegger et la question de l’agir (1982), Reiner Schurmann stands out as one of the few interpreters who consider Heidegger’s philosophy as a radical thought of praxis. This essay aims to highlight the relevance of the concept of praxis in relation to Ereignis by traversing some of the fundamental theoretical cores of Schurmann’s text. First, the transcendental dimension of Heidegger’s thought is emphasized, identifying the origin (Ursprung) of presence in Ereignis. Second, Schurmann’s interpretation of history as destiny (Seinsgeschichte) is examined, revealing the fundamental primacy of praxis over theory and thought. Finally, the anarchic sense of praxis corresponding to Ereignis is elucidated in light of the possibility of overcoming Geschichte, a possibility specifically given in the technological age.
