Freedom as letting be and truth as unconcealment, of course, are reciprocal. Thus on the "practical" front, the displacement of the will as the privileged locus of freedom complements on the "theoretical" front the removal of the assertion as the privileged locus of truth. And the more explicitly we witness the breakdown of the theory-practice dichotomy, the further we distance ourselves from the influence that Cartesian dualism has on shaping modern ethics: the presumption of privileging consciousness as a disembodied spirit and then denigrating nature as the aggregate of material objects devoid of value. An "originary ethics," which attends to the ethos of our inhabitation, can then emerge in the space created by subverting the volitional, anthropocentric, "foundationalist" premise of modern ethics.
