I much prefer to let him an authority on the phenomenology of experience and draw my own conclusions about poetry.<BR/><BR/>I dip into BT with that aim in mind and return to passages again and again.

Likewise, from a poet's perspective, _Poetry, Language, Thought_. For what it's worth.<BR/><BR/>MichaelMontanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13799996487649262045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861197.post-1158479493388691762006-09-17T09:51:00.000+02:002006-09-17T09:51:00.000+02:00Thanks.

But then you notice the complexity of the distances and spaces he covers.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858865501469168339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861197.post-1158436367437532972006-09-16T21:52:00.000+02:002006-09-16T21:52:00.000+02:00I'm glad to see strangers out there with philosoph...I'm glad to see strangers out there with philosophical inclinations. <BR/><BR/>I had read Borges' <I>The Approach to Al-Mu'tasim </I> almost literally, without giving further thought to its applications to the theory of reality. It's the eternal problem of the young reader. (If you read those same passages in your late-twenties, you underlie them on a different color.)<BR/><BR/>My first and only attempt to read Heidegger's "Being and Time" failed catastrophically - I dropped back to Nietzsche for a reality check and never made it back. But short essays like <I> Sience and Reflection </I> may catapult me into a new attempt. <BR/><BR/>You post made this morning quite enjoyable.Javierahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03838509592779557256noreply@blogger.com
