Why "more"?

>From a critical pt of v the Heidegger corpus appears continuous with Western
theology.  As you point out Theology should be grasped as an interpretation of
Western dasein's mythopoeic interpretation of the mystery of beyng over
the temporal span of cultural maturation.  Thence,  post modern dasein cast
heideggerianism, Western theology's timeliest revision...simply the newest
"old believer".

More pointedly, the H-ian hermeneutic circle seems very close to the
old "credo ut intelligam"; and the "already understood", to the old
"belief/faith".  Nor does it differ functionally, i.e. hermetic circle;   MH, ni
heideggerians admits the equality of theoretical logos,...employing the old
hierarchy of sciences metaphor, precluding the possibility of dialectic. As it
has ever been with Believers, you cannot address H's "thinking" critically, from
outside the jargon.
