Subject: Nietzsche/Heidegger


Heidegger seemed to fall prey to a right-wing "soil-mythos" which
undergirds his attack on technology, something of which Nietzsche is
almost entirely free (see Deleuze on "nomad thought" in _The New
Nietzsche_).  Nietzsche's call for a return to the body and a
celebration of the Earth are quite different from Heidegger's
position, which I cannot help but feel intends the opposite (the re-
institution of metaphysics).  Are Heidegger's intellectual sympathies
more with the Right Hegelians?  Nietzsche seems to me to be much too
Feuerbachian for such nonsense.
