Heidegger

Rene, regarding what we were talking about before- organization as “has the
cancer of nihilism inside”. It sudddenly occured to me that there is no
place for morality in your equation. I’m on record as regarding morality as
being outside the institutional bounds of phenomenology, but now I’m
re-examining the question. Nihilism demands morality, because without it
there is only- (I don’t know what- maybe the holocaust). When about age four
I asked my mother what happens to you when you die- she replied (somewhat a
tyrant) they put your body in the ground and it gets eaten by worms. So
atheism was as a doctrine cultivated very early in my childhood. Later at
twelve I burnt a bible in secret, the symbol of my commitment to this
doctrine. Ever since, I rage against organized religion. But somehow,
intrinsically I know right from wrong, it seems in origin pre- oedipal in
Lacan’s discursive sense- or is it just the result of socialization after
entry into the symbolic order. Anyway my question: “cancer of nihilism” vs
morality as ‘organization’. Would appreciate your thoughts on the matter.
