Speaking Being: Werner Erhard, Martin Heidegger, and a New Possibility of Being Human is an unprecedented study of the ideas and methods developed by the thinker Werner Erhard. In this book, those ideas and methods are revealed by presenting in full an innovative program he developed in the 1980s called The Forum--available in this book as a transcript of an actual course led by Erhard in San Francisco in December of 1989. Since its inception, Erhard's work has impacted the lives of millions of people throughout the world. Central to this study is a comparative analysis of Erhard's rhetorical project, The Forum, and the philosophical project of Martin Heidegger. Through this comparative analysis, the authors demonstrate how each thinker's work sometimes parallels and often illuminates the other.

The dialogue at work in The Forum functions to generate a language which speaks being. That is, The Forum is an instance of what the authors call ontological rhetoric a technology of communicating what cannot be said in language. Nevertheless, what does get said allows those participating in the dialogue to discover previously unseen aspects of what it currently means to be human. As a primary outcome of such discovery, access to creating a new possibility of what it is to be human is made available.

The purpose of this book is to show how communication of the unspoken realm of language--speaking being--is actually accomplished in The Forum, and to demonstrate how Erhard did it in 1989. Through placing Erhard's language use next to Heidegger's thinking--presented in a series of "Sidebars" and "Intervals" alongside The Forum transcript--the authors have made two contributions. They have illuminated the work of two thinkers, who independently developed similar forms of ontological rhetoric while working from very different times and places. Hyde and Kopp have also for the first time made Erhard's extraordinary form of ontological rhetoric available for a wide range of audiences, from scholars at work within a variety of academic disciplines to anyone interested in exploring the possibility of being for human beings.

From the Afterword:

I regard Speaking Being as an enormously important contribution to understanding Heidegger and Erhard. The latter has received far too little serious academic attention, and this book begins to make up for that lack. Moreover, the book's analysis of Heidegger's thought is among the best that I have ever read. I commend this book to all readers without reservation.

Ridiculously satisfying!
Size: iPad A16 11th/10th, Size: iPad A16 11th/10th
YES! I am completely obsessed with the SPARIN Screen Protector for iPad! From the moment I applied it, my screen looked crystal clear and felt silky smooth like butter under my fingers. The fit is absolutely perfect for both my 11th and 10th generation iPads, hugging every edge without a single bubble or misalignment. I love how responsive it is... swipes, taps, and even intense drawing sessions feel flawless, like my iPad is brand new again. The protector is tough and scratch-resistant, so I can toss it in my bag without worrying about keys or pens ruining my screen. I also love that it doesn’t mess with the display brightness or clarity, so everything still looks vibrant and sharp. Applying it was super easy and stress-free, which honestly surprised me because I expected a million bubbles or frustration. Five stars all the way for a screen protector that makes my iPad feel safe, sleek, and ridiculously satisfying to use every single day!

Happy With The Quality of This Screen Protector
Size: iPad Air 13'' M4/M3 /M2 & iPad Pro 13'', Size: iPad Air 13'' M4/M3 /M2 & iPad Pro 13''
This is my Amazon review for the SPARIN Screen Protector for iPad Air 13 Inch M4 2026 & M3 2025 & M2 2024 (8th/7th/6th Generation) & iPad Pro 13 Inch M5/M4 (8th/7th Gen), Case Friendly, 2 Pack Tempered Glass, Support Apple Pencil. This is an easy to apply screen saver with few bubbles to smooth out. It is very clear and covers the screen perfectly. I literally can only see it is on because of the cut-out over the camera. It is very thin and transparent. My iPad also responds precisely the same to my touch and pencil, so the touch sensitivity feels great. I am very happy with the quality of this screen protector so far. It seems to be a good quality screen protector. Thanks, Amazon.

Great quality product
Size: iPad A16 11th/10th
This is a great quality product that is easy to apply. It's scratch proof with no glare on the screen. We were able to apply this screen protector with no bubbles on the screen. It's heavy duty and will prevent screen cracking if this is dropped. I would definately recommend this product!

Screen protector
Size: iPad Air 11" M4/ M3/M2, Size: iPad Air 11" M4/ M3/M2
I’m really happy with this screen protector for my iPad. The quality feels really good, and it fits perfectly on the screen without affecting the display quality or touch sensitivity. I was worried it might make the screen look dull or reduce responsiveness with the Apple Pencil, but everything still works super smoothly. It also helps reduce fingerprints and keeps my screen protected from scratches, which gives me peace of mind while carrying it around daily.
