Jud:
Haven't I done enough already by pointing out that:  "Daseinic Pretend Heideggerianism" is shot full of more holes than a Gorgonzola cheese?  :-)
Seriously Rene, to check out Buckle's "locomotion" theory of progress (did they REALLY have railway locomotives in Enlightenment times?
[Bakker, R.B.M. de]


Belated Enlightenment is not Enlightenment. The Buckles are pretending Mozartian naivete, while Wagner is already playing Goetterdaemmerung
themes in his head.


I would need
to make a special journey to Preston Library [all of ten long miles] and even then I may not find the book. I could order it through the Library Lend Scheme in the village I suppose, but that would cost me 75 hard earned pence.  Do you want to impoverish me Rene?  My life!  In other words is it really important if Buckle had this bee in his bonnet that  the physical movement of the hoi polloi from A to B has done more to unite people than all philosophers, poets and prophets before it since the beginning of the world?  What about the Internet?  (renedescarte-AT-ithinkthereforeiam.com?)
[Bakker, R.B.M. de]


Sure. The Internet: the continuation of locomotive by other means.


If it is REALLY important to you, I will [good-naturedly]  lay out the necessary 75p and try to locate the information on Buckle's Betise, but in return I expect to be put up in the best hotel your city can provide should I ever grace the pavements, or sawdust floored bars, (or tulip fields) of Antwerp or Amsterdam, or whatever low-lying area of re-claimed land in which you reside, and in which you -  one day, - long ago - in a dimly recalled past, realised you had been fortuitously thrown to poop your Daseinic Diapers.  :;).
[Bakker, R.B.M. de]

Thanks for the offer, Jud,  and, yes, "Once we lived like gods"     (Why is this text blue?)
There are at least 10 Buckle histories available here - more than BT's  - so I won't expect
from you what I won't do myself. Just had the idea that you might know. During the 19th
century his history was widely known. There was even a Russian translation, that has been
retraced in libraries of little villages. Dmitri Karamasov expresses his deep contempt
for these common sense books, that began to flood the European market, when theology
and philosophy collapsed. If one is looking for the guilty, Buckle might be rather your man
than Heidegger. 

cheers
