dear Paul,

the issues you raise here are quite interesting, and made me think
back to the question Michael Staples asked more than a year ago
about the trinity: Language - Thought - Action (and its related
notions as: non-language, demi-language; non-thought, demi-thought;
in/non-action, demi-action etc.)

yes indeed, the relevance of this trinity-complex to the understanding
of Heidegger's "Gelassenheit" (but also Wittgenstein's "Verhexung"
PU:109) is to the point and paramount

a practical question that arises now is: can we reclaim (regain)
the middle verb tense ? and, if so, how ? --- and would this then
be a learning proces ? and if so, ought it then be conceive primary
as an individual learning proces or more as a form of social learning ?
(i guess that learning ancient Greek or Sanskrit isn't enough or even
necessary here)

how would it be done to show someone the meaning of the middle
verb tense: we need a good example here to think this through ....

yours,
Jan
