Notes
It may seem superfluous to recall that for Martin Heidegger, the metaphysical question remains the most decisive one of all; what is more, “in the need belonging to the oblivion of Being...might well remain what is most needed of all that is necessary for thought”, “Introduction to What is Metaphysics?” in W. McNeill, trans. Pathmarks. Cambridge, MA: Cambridge University Press, 1998, 282. This question can be articulated in four stages: the question of Being, the question of thought, the question of remaining, and the question surrounding the event. Cf. Richard Wisser, Il quadruplice domandare di Heidegger, in Franco Bianco, ed. Heidegger in discussione. Milan: Franco Angeli, 1992, 205–22.
For some thinkers, this is still an open question. One can see, for example, Carmelo Vigna, Sulla metafisica di Heidegger, in Mario Ruggenini, ed. Heidegger e la Metafisica. Genova: Marietti, 1991, 107–39.

This is one of the most significant perspectives of reflection in relation to the demand of a post-metaphysical thought. We can see, for example, what he writes in one of his most recent essays: A Farewell to Truth. New York: Columbia University Press, 2000, 55, “Seen in this light, the kenosis that is the original meaning of Christianity signifies that salvation lies above all in breaking the identification of God with the order of the real world, in distinguishing God from (metaphysical) Being understood as objectivity, necessary rationality, foundation.” Cf.
