Subject: Re:  Heidegger in Germany


Dear Micheal,

	I deeply respect your knowledge of Hiedegger and as I have felt
in regards to Husserl, that Hiedegger is often misunderstood because
his critics have not gone to the heart of his thinking. I very much agree
with you that his work is mistakenly overlooked because of his political
mistake.

However,

	I am also in agreement with Henk. Somewhere, Heidegger went wrong
with his thinking. I don't believe that it just a political misjudgement
of a naieve philosopher. I think you are begging Henk's questions which
are important and can only serve to strenghten Heidegger's work when these
answers are disclosed. Perhaps in your dialog with Henk the anwsers to 
these questions can emerge if you both can maintain an openness to looking
beyond the usual catagories and osified positions as I believe you are
both interested in doing.

	That Heidegger is not being thought about is tragic, it seems to
me that if Henk's questions could be answered honestly he could assume
his rightful place as one of the most important thinkers in history.


with my deepest respect,

Greg Borgerson
