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.

Super entertaining toy if your dog likes balls and hunting
Color: Aqua
Love this! We got a similar ball for our dog about 6 months ago and she has been obsessed! We have 2 dogs, one hasa zero interest whatsoever in this toy (as expected) and the other will bark at it while its sitting on the charger so she can get it. Dogs, amirite? lol anyway, the issue we had with the previous one was that it was so loud on our wood floors because it was a solid plastic. The Cheerble ball has made a huge difference in sound for us! The ball itself is very quiet. When it rolls or bounces on something other than the floor you can barely hear it. With the previous ball we had, we couldn't be on the phone or watching a movie, etc if our dog was playing with the ball because it was so dang loud but this solves our problems! Its made of a hard silicone like material (thing a Nerf ball or something) so it remains quiet. The battery lasts as listed and its easy to charge. It took some time to figure out which setting our dog liked the best but after that it was smooth sailing. My only only negative to this is that the power on/off switch is inside so you have to twist it open to turn it off and on. The ball will naturally get some saliva on it so its kinda gross to put your hands all over it once its been played with and I'd prefer a button on the outside but understand why that isn't possible with this design. This ball is perfect if your dog is ball obsessed like ours. Shes a pitt/black lab/aussie mix so ball and hunting/chasing lizards are her favorite past times. If your dog prefers ripping toys apart to kill the squeaker (our other dog) or chewing bones, they may not take to this. Ball is life at our house and this ball is at the top of our pups list, there isn't a day that passes that she doesn't start her daily routine of seeking this out and begging us to turn it on. Highly recommend for the right pup!

Great toy, too bad my Shih Tzu is afraid of it. I love the way the movement is subtle and random.
