The Issues
On the subject of Emergence
Writing is thinking, being, emerging. What is emerging? How is it emerging? Where is it emerging from? With this first issue, we explore the idea of emergence in tandem with this site’s birth. In the same way that this site crystallises what we are coming into, we reflect on what emergence means.
We’d love to ask: what does emergence mean to you? What is emerging from you? How does looking at the world with a lens of emergence change the way you see it?
Heidegger argues that being is ‘phusis’, the Greek term for ‘what emerges from itself… …, the unfolding that opens itself up… … Phusis is the event of standing forth, arising from the concealed and thus enabling the concealed to take its stand for the first time. ’ (Heidegger, 2000: 15-16).
