. Yes, Heidegger was very astute in this regard. Shame about him believing ‘his time had time’ as Philosopher-King but I can’t blame the guy. I probably would’ve done much the same if I had an ounce more societal ambitions… and then regretted my short association. [I would’ve been a “good German”, sadly. I suppose I kind of am now but I don’t like politics].
I put Heidegger in the school of Scottish Realism [he probably is already, maybe he isn’t; that’s just how I see it] – and being born and raised in the USA, it’s nearly impossible to escape the, “Does it work? Yes? No? Let’s Try!” attitude, which isn’t strictly Heidegger, but I see it as part of the same family of “Doing”.
I’m being a deconstructionalist on myself. Very challenged but extremely rewarding.
