From: andrew.glynn-AT-ca.pwcglobal.com Date: Wed, 09 Dec 1998 14:59:04 -0500 Subject: re: Will to Power = Technology = Essence of Metaphysics = Valuation The thesis I'm working on is centred particularly on valuation. I find that Marx was on to something when he began Kapital with an analysis of commodity value as opposed to use value, but his narrowing of the field such that commodity value becomes synonymous with abstract labour is unconvincing when money itself has become a commodity that is valued, sold and traded. Relating commodity valuation with Nietzsche's revaluation of all values, but centred on mood-disordered Dasein, is probably the simplest way of explaining the work I'm trying to write.

This project will necessarily bring into play Heidegger, Nietzsche (and Heidegger's Nietzsche and Nietzsche's Heidegger) and Marx, but also McLuhan, Althusser, Kubrick, Derrida et al..., Parmenides, Heraclitus, Socrates etc. I would be very interested in reading your thesis - any chance of seeing it? thoughtfully yours MP "Nietzsche is something that must be overcome" snailmail: 38 Sandown Lees, Sandwich, Kent CT13 9NZ, UK phone&fax: 01304-617626 --- from list heidegger-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu --- ---------------------------------------------------------------- The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
