A neologism or Judogism is a _word_ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word) ,
_term_ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Term) , or _phrase_
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrase) which has been recently created (”coined”) — often to
re-synthesize pre-existing concepts, or to make older terminology sound more
contemporary.
Jud:
To my knowledge [apart from perhaps word-combinations/associations jokingly
contrived in the much-admired manner MichaelP] I have never created a
neologism in my life. I did employ one combination of two words *causal object,*
but that was purely a marriage of two semantitically grounded terms. I have
since dropped the term and refer only to an *object* anyway to distance even
further any notion of a mystic *causality* lurking inside billiard balls and the
like.
Heidegger, like his Nazi heroes, who approached most problems on the basis
of an *industrial production* model, was a virtual one-man assembly line of
nursery-terms. How about the one which causes the biggest laugh amongst my
fellow students:
*The worldling of the world.*
His writings are peppered with this kind of crud, in which he employs
juvenilia [a kind of philosophical lallation] to reenforce his fantasy of an
*ontological difference,* and indeed, without the inclusion of such intellectual
food-waste the whole steaming rubbish-heap of metaphysical methane gas
(larconically referred to as *his ontology*) would spontaneously combust like a
wet hayrick or a pile of pig-droppings exposed to sunlight on one of his
*factory farms..

i’m glad you weren’t my professor. “Heidegger, like his Nazi heroes, who approached most problems on the basis of an *industrial production* model” (not even considering the “Nazi heroes” ad hominem to fluff up your position)–but Heidegger approaching most problems from an industrial production model? are you serious?
yes he was great at creating words, but with it new ideas and new approaches. he was trying to get at something original—which required a different language, as so much philosophical language had already been compromised.
