Although this passage begins with an appeal to forgetfulness as our current relation to the thing, the “twofold delusion” Heidegger goes on to explicate serves to complicate that idea. The first aspect of the delusion is unsurprising, as it reiterates Heidegger's hostility toward a hegemonic conception of the sciences of the kind enshrined in, for example, Quine's naturalism; the second aspect, however, gives one pause, as it suggests that things have yet to come into “possession of their thinghood.” Heidegger continues:

But if things ever had already shown themselves qua things in their thingness, then the thing's thingness would have become manifest and would have laid claim to thought. In truth, however, the thing as thing remains proscribed, nil, and in that sense annihilated. This has happened and continues to happen so essentially that not only are things no longer admitted as things, but they have never yet been able to appear to thinking as things. (GA 7, 172/170–71)
