Heidegger

But as we can plainly see, philosophy, in order to show itself, must
be spoken. The ground of philosophy,to recognize your question, Bob,
is a ground well worth digging into, mining as it were. But, at the
end of the day, said ground must yield to a showing, an above -ground
sholwing. Even though I am getting somewhat lost inside this
metaphor, you will notice, I can still recover the ground from which
my speaking has sprung. There is a way back from whence we came.
Language is the way backward and forward, from here, or there, and
back, back into the wild blue yonder.

From Des Moines, it’s Saturday night!

Quoting michaelP :

> Allen asks:

>> The question then becomes, can

> Bernard states:

>> Of course not, Allen. The ground for philosophy is the eidos. That is why
>> Socrates was told to “make music” and which he could not do. Philosophers
>> think, whereas music makers feel.
>
> Bernard, I’m basing my whole opera on the notion that philosophy can sing
> (be-sung). One can see another’s point of view but one hears what one says.
> Eidos needn’t be a visual image; Heidegger’s thinking is just as much based
> upon hearing a call in that peculiarly positive-active sense as it is in
> viewing what comes to light in the clearing of be-ing. (Philosophical)
> thinking can be a feeling out, a hearing something out, discerning the music
> in the icons of speech. Which is why Heidegger placed so much of his (he)art
> in poetry.
>
> Heidegger sings (although his deliberate attempts at poetry suck).

> best regards and feelings
