Well, I finally finished my preliminary readings into Heidegger. (What DID you imagine the "H" stood for, anyway?) Aside from all the general talk of being itself, I found Heidegger's ideas about Death, History and Time (World-Time and 'Ordinary Time') most interesting. Also touching on the subject of Temporality, Heidegger's insistence that 'one tool is ontologically impossible' (BT, 353) was stunning. I wonder what he'd say about the 'ontical' situation that most of my friends and I face every day: our 'one tool-ness'...I'll have to think about the implications of this. Perhaps that's related to what K. Cascone said about keeping everything 'inside the box' (granted, he was speaking from a computer music point of view) but I can't be sure. Anyway, I'll continue my readings after I locate a few more books on the St. Martin of Messkirch. In the meantime, speaking of Saints, next up on my reading list is St. Augustine.
