From: HealantHenry-AT-aol.com Date: Sun, 14 Oct 2001 12:00:46 EDT Subject: Re: Red Sails in the Sunset I cannot but notice the uncanny description of Nietzsche himself in this rather odd aphorism concerning the "holyman." Particularly the physical and intellectual/ethical descriptions. N's own unhealthiness, his own doomsday-ism, and, of course, the recently-hearlded-on-this-list 'authority' drawn from a distinction between the holyman and others, fits Nietzsche, the last metaphysician, the last holyman; his "art of interpretation" so aesthetically determining. I think that the question of the significance of the holy man today is nothing holy and much that is of world historical irony (& Nietzsche as prototype): the display of technology as the essence of value the spectacle of technology as the economy of values (propaganda) e.g., the "holy" re-form-ation of world through technological means --- from list heidegger-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
