UHM? Herr Heidegger is a pure humanist, otherwise how do you square his views on animals (they are not or have not or partake not of Dasein, etc..)

It is not clear whether Lawrence Helm is quoting or offering his own opinion, but he writes: "Less 'troubling' but more serious is Heidegger?s 'anti-humanism'.? Personally, it is precisely Heidegger's 'anti-humanism' that makes his thought such a welcome relief to so much of modern philosophy. The modern preoccupation with experience and consciousness became a narcissistic humanism (a tautology?) that reduced the world to human thoughts and words. Heidegger pushed back. Furthermore, it is this anti-humanism that I see as complicating the simple brush stroke that paints the whole of Heidegger's thought as Nazi propaganda.

[ _Quaestiones Naturales_, Adelard of Bath ] Sull?orlo delle ciglia in oblìo riproducimi il verso delle stelle quando si vanno a scagliare tra le ipotesi passate di un presente privo di memorie. Raccogli le mie penne e gettale al fiume ché non c?è seme di conoscenza che non germini nel dolore. Avanza l?autunno nel calpestìo delle foglie sul selciato ed é un passo appena abbozzato al calar della sera. NATALIA CASTALDI
