Heidegger

Jud:
The unremitting, never-ending shrieking, clamour, ad hominem and Der Boykott
Kameradschaftlichen Seins about politics and Jews from the left and the
right [but mostly right] only reinforces the self-evident [a point that only ein
politischer Narr would not spot after a week or two] that the basic ground of
the Heidegger cult is not about philosophy - it is really about politics and
Jews.

My contributions over the years have usually been concerned with ontology
and to point to the lack of anything seriously *philosophical* in: *Heidegger
der Nicht-Fragesteller,* and have included attempts to rip away the mask
behind which le plus grand poseur politique du monde hid the very evil seeds of
racial hatred which inspires and gives oxygen to the very ad hominem that
afflicts us now. Now even I, who have never been one to turn the other cheek,
and always return like with like, must admit that the levels of unremitting
Heidegger-inspired ad hominem twixt the politicos here have reached levels of
abuse I have rarely witnessed on other lists.

Admittedly my eliminative determinism is an ontology for which few on this
list have any sympathy - but at least it is unified ontology, and often
provokes lively philosophical discussion, and is not a boringly incessant raking
and re-raking over the coals of the failure of Western middle eastern foreign
policy and Real Politik.

Why not split the list in two completely - and form a new list called *The
Politics of Martin Heidegger List? * Such a list would cater for those more
interested in the political ramifications of the man and the implications of his
racialism, and would provide a podium for the more serious academic analyses
of the Middle East, like that just posted by Malcolm, or ones concerning
Germany and the West by the Dark Stranger? Is it not true to say that there is
too much *bleeding over* of the political or the polemos [which as far as I
can see has nothing whatsoever to do with philosophy [or Heidegger] into the
space were others who are actually interested in philosophy and ontology can
discuss away to their heart’s content?

BTW. As far as the two graphs were concerned - it is not educational in the
sphere of the study of dead-ideas, to compare and contrast the different
continuing interest-levels in the various areas of the world in Hitler and his
most ardent academic follower and fellow Nazi?

Jud Evans.
