Subj:The Problem of NOT=20Being Zarathustra

One of my best students, a double major in physics and philosophy,
just finished
giving a wonderful paper on Heidegger and science to a mixed
audience(different disciplines) of faculty and
students. When he finished, the questions were of the reductionist
sort(sometimes found on this list), which demand that he give an
accounting of Heidegger's thought in precisely those terms which
this aspect of Heidegger's thought is carefully constructed to
deconstruct: How do you give it to someone who doesn't get it,
indeed who can't get it until they think the overcoming which what
you are giving gives them?
It struck me that what I may be doing with my most successful
students, who indeed do get
what Heidegger has to give, is I may be putting them in very much the
same situation
I find myself in. Even though I'm sure they will be able to do more
with it then I have
done(assuming there is more to be done, even more than I will do, and
definitely more than
Heidegger did), there is still something about this situation, of
perpetuating my situation,
that leaves me. . .uncomfortably situated, to say the least.
Best regards,
Allen (trying to find his way back to that path marked only by goat turds
which leads back UP the mountain))
