Heidegger

> Tudor

His friends plead with him to go into exile. But he refuses, -to state it
positively, in order to preserve the integrity of his life and teaching. He
never acedes to the rightness of the judgement or sentence and clearly holds
the entire proceeding in contempt. So he choses to be Socrates, and that
choice entails taking his own life at that very point.
Similarly, Jesus. When they came to arrest him could, as is most often the
case, have fought his way out. And to that purpose presumably Peter draws
and strikes. But Jesus orders them not to resist. He felt called to
overthrow the spiritual falsity of rome and the sanhedrin; and intended to
face them, deludedly believing God would come to his assistance. In
gethsemene he steels himself for the morrow knowing the likelihood of
death. But he choses to go forward into probable death.
Sinilarly Achilles, …

So, …not to quibble over semantics or technicalities, the point is that in
each case the person actively choses death, and achieves thereby translation
into higher being, from man to god. And this insight is vastly more
profound on the meanign of suicide than ari’s .

Hölderlin: in the middle of his word, came a terrible Schicksal.
Nothing chosen. Also the Sanredin, Rome, (Pilatus, Herodes)
are highly overvaluated in your presentation. Christ was in no way
dependent on anything of the sort., and cannot be turned towards
other’s needs. Then he is just not Christ anymore, but becomes
sthing very subjective and dangerous, because not surpassable.
Hölderlin’s decisive development can be ’sketched’ alongside the ‘theme’
of the necessary and holy betrayal of the godly by man if he is not to
succumb definitevly in tearing hearts out. I have shoiwed what terrible
dark heart is to be torn out, but i see merely lightheartedness.
Without a heart. Nothing personal,except for a most personal warning.

Goethe’s poem The Corinthian bride is kept being offered to attention as well.

“Menschenopfer unerhört.”

there is great responsibility to be taken for this, and without it rev is nothing,
just more Opfer. And more.

so funny, if one thinks again, tosearch for the guilty re level of phil discussion.
the stubborn refusal to ask the question, which reverberates in EVERY word by
Heidegger, and some others: who are we?
