Reading Klossowski « Previous | |Next »
October 15, 2004

Gary,

this is merely a note to let you know that I am still reading, both your entries and the books that they bring into the picture. I am reading Chapter Two of Nietzsche And The Vicious Circle in response to your recent entry. I was tempted to repeat what I'd already raised in previous discussions about the basic core of Klossowski's ideas, but then I decided that I would go back and read the chapter again. After all, it is two or three years since I read it and then it was read in the way that one generally reads a book. I mean by this that I did not study it but simply read it. So this time I am going to study it. I've already started on the first couple of pages, which are fascinating, particularly the selection of Nietzsche's letters that Klossowski marshals in arguing his point. Anyone out there who is following this discussion should at least read those letters. They will give you a real feel for what is going on in Klossowski's mind - or, at least, what was going on. I'm also going to discuss it with a couple of friends. With any luck, some of this will translate into contributions to our philosophical discussion.

It would be a nice idea if the friends contributed to the discussion online. It is pretty much a solo voice at the moment.

Hardly a philosophical conversation.
