Onderwerp: RE: Gelassenheit - Philosophical topics


In Philosophical topics, vol. 27, no 2 (1999), recently out -here-
is an article by William Blattner, "Is Heidegger a representationalist?"

(he already has asked if H was an idealist, not?)

I was reminded of the discussion of Malcolm and Anthony on representation
in practical circumspection.

P. 192: "The [i.e. Searle's] background is a set of abilities (skills and practices)
that are non-representational conditions of the possibility of representational
content."

Without the aim to go into Blattner's discussion, rather busy with Gelassenheit,
one could ask: Is the talking with the help of these terms, whether in favor or 
against representation- not fatal, when Heidegger in Gelassenheit writes that
the Gegnet, the open (free and wide) space, that is presupposed by all representational
activity, is, OF ITSELF, not dependent on representation?

The background - just another word for horizon?


==

Browsing a bit further in this issue - Heidegger and Davidson (Malpas), Heidegger
and Korsgaard (Okrent), Heidegger and Searle (Dreyfus) - all this comparing itself 
finds place in familiar objectivity. One can use it, but one must get rid of this
philosofa-gott-ing, and not get stuck in the swamps.

Dreyfus will speak monday nextdoor here on expertise and next month on Ari and Kierk
as models for BT - talking about comparing. I do not wish to always be nasty, esp.
not over against one, who has introduced a new reading of H in the US, but if I look
at that earlier article on the ambiguous state of Zuhandenheit in BT and I read these
summaries, the loss is alarming, and I would like to advise mr. Dreyfus to stay
at home if he's still there, and rather drive a block with a Heidegger doll in his fancy
car, than take a risky fly for nothing.
We always have to BEGIN anew with Heidegger (and Nietzsche, and...)
