	yet again and wonderfully so and in no relation of contradiction
there are some interesting points and pages in What is Philosophy with
reference to Hegel [and Heidegger] on 94-5. part of that discussion
entails a consideration of the problem in Hegel and Heidegger of the
concept and its relation to interiority as history. "Hegel and Heidegger
remain historicists inasmuch as they posit hisotry as a form of
interiority in which the concept necessarily develops or unveils its
destiny.The necessity rests on the abstraction of the historical  element
rendered circular. The unforeseeable creation of concepts is thus poorly
understood." (Whatis Philosophy Trans.) Now that is juicy stuff to me.
Because it opens up a movement of deterritorialization at the
"origins" of western thought ie. among the Greeks. But how does it happen?
Whereas with Hegel (according to D&G) it gets
shut down, and the same thing happens with Heidegger. THis closing down
can be seen as the mental conceptual parallel to what the
German State was doing on the political and civic sphere.
