'An aphorism, properly stamped and molded, has not been "deciphered" when it has simply been read; rather one has then to begin its interpretation, for which is required an art of interpretation.' -- Nietzsche, 'On the Genealogy of Morals'

Heidegger v Descartes « Previous | |Next »
December 31, 2004

I know the image poppy in a computer game (Starwars)sense, but it does captures the idea of confrontation:

PortraitHeidegger1.jpg

Found here via Enowning.

It suggests that the history of philosophy is a battlefield with reasoning being used as a weapon.I like it, even though the image downplays the importance of a dialogue between the French and the Germans. I prefer that conception tothe Wittgenstein view tht philosophy is "a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language."

Starwars. That series was all about technology and mysticism.

Could we not have a dialogue about technology, machine metaphysics and a technological mode of being. A dialogue conducted from the perspective of the biomedical future of human beings, human genetics and biopsychological engineering.

That would enable us to trangress the current debates about our bio-futures currently conducted by American liberals.
