You have mentioned Medard Boss several times now, Dr. Capurro, and I'll have to admit that I read his "Foundations" and didn't think much of it. It seemed to me at the time I read it that Heidegger's hand in editing the work was quite present in the first half of the book that dealt mainly with the issues of philosophy. But when the issues turned to pulling this philosophy into a psychology, I felt almost as if Boss was on his own. In Boss says early on that Heidegger was responsible for the philosophical editing (and he makes a point out of it). I have been waiting patiently for the Zolikon lectures to be translated. Your point about learning German is well taken. My own lack of German has been a big dissapointment to me. I worked for the Siemens corporation for some years, and had a great opportunity to dive into the language but, somehow just didn't select that path. Are you particularly drawn to Boss because you have really dug into his writing and he makes wonderful sense to you, or is it that he is just the most likely game in town when it comes to an attempt to see how Heidegger fits with psychology? I'm not being flippant here, I'm really interested in your perspective. Michael S. --- from list heidegger-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
