Heidegger’s Ereignis, unlike the One of Plotinus, is not a unity excluding all otherness.
On the contrary, it is an affirmation of its difference from Being, which it «gives», itself granted by Time. Whereas Plotinus’ extasy aims at union, fusion with the One; for Heidegger, it is above all openness, gaping, by means of which Being goes out of itself, eksists. If the ecstasy of Plotinus is a return towards a source which is the rejection of all otherness, retreat into the identity of the One without Being, Heidegger’s thought is that of maintaining the difference and the exteriority of Being, which reveals itself with Time in the Event, the Ereignis.
