g'day all - dear Stitch, I certainly agree that the proliferation of ideas is a good thing, in case I ve given the wrong impression in the prior post. However, to stray off topic a bit to further clarify my point, your citing of Heidegger bearing the full weight of western civilization, ranging from the pre-socratic greeks to the 2 fathers of existentialism, is precisely my point how even the great beings can get caught up in the moment [and movement] of passion. Instead of focusing on a single moment of discretion, Heidegger is indeed a Great Man [or should I say "Ubermensch," <vbg>] who has come to realize the mistake and to turn his back on the seduction of rectorship. Millions were willing to march into hell because they were promised a condominum in heaven.
