John David Ebert on Heidegger's Origin of the Work of Art 2/2

[@pemajamyang]

Thank you John, I really appreciated your crunching all of Heidegger's origin of the work of art and am now starting to read the original essay. It's so easy to get lost in the tangle and sometimes convoluted arguments in the original writing that I especially appreciate your highlighting a number of the key distinctions Heidegger makes in this essay. Gen. semantics makes a distinction between the map in the territory similar to Nietzsche's Dionysus and Apollo. The complexity of deconstructing the history of assumptions that have been made in the Western world picture seems daunting. I guess that Heidegger was saying the poetry and art of cultures provides a linchpin between being in the Zeitgeist of that people. Now to tackle the original essay. Thanks again John your work is so coherent, but I'm still perplexed by some of your audio video tapes that include channeling. I can't say the one in which your medium channeled Heidegger was particularly convincing to me. But I'm quick to acknowledge that there are more things in heaven and earth then dripped of in my philosophy or anyone's philosophy. Warmly, Paul

@Lion117 stamp it with pseudo-rationally made answers and meanings that flat everything out of it.
