This is a reading of the second poetic phenomenological meditation (PPM), originally written on 2.14.2004. In this PPM I introduce the category 'is not/not yet,' (the 'excess' of Being) and phenomenology as hermeneutics. I write of teaching as turning toward this excess, or existential possibility. I also situate the project within Heidegger's question "How is it with the nothing?" from his essay 'What is Metaphysics?'
February 13, 2014 was the 10th anniversary of the original experiment that produced 363 phenomenological mediations, published as 'Being and Learning' (Brill: 2012). Each day between Feb 2014-15, I returned to the original meditations, and my commentary is documented here. And then, again, on February 15, 2024, on the 20th anniversary of the first days of the original experiment, I revisit and comment on a daily basis, once again.
20th anniversary of 365 daily poetic phenomenological meditations. I'm still wrestling with the fundamental question, How to turn students "around" or "on" to the essential question of Being!
