I saw Flynn speak on the subject, but I'm afraid I've learned more from this list than I did from the lecture (however polished and professional it may have been). Allen >>> stuart.elden-AT-clara.co.uk 07/20/01 21:38 PM >>> Steve Thanks. That was my sense of the earlier work. What's interesting, for me, is the development to the later work, and his claim that it was indeed a development or 'depassement' from the earlier, rather than its refutation. 'Search' does indeed make that claim, but within a new context. Like Allen, I think that Sartre's later work bears close examination, and that Foucault is wrestling with a similar concern (even if not following the same line). Has anyone read Thomas Flynn's work on Sartre and Foucault? I guess I'd have plenty to say about Clifford's last post on Sartre (and Heidegger), but he looks to have gone. As this isn't a Sartre list I won't continue that particular thread. I do hope to have some time soon to attempt a response to Ali on the notion of event.
