\"OLYMPUS<\/a><\/p>\n

In the New York Times<\/em> book review this Sunday, Jonathan Franzen used a term familiar to me only from Martin Heidegger’s writings on technology. As result I got curious to know how Thomas Sheehan’s recent book about the German thinker\u00a0has been received. I didn’t come across any reviews with a Google search, but I did find a paper<\/a> he’d written last year, “What, After All, Was Heidegger About?”, which serves almost as an overview of the new book, which I haven’t finished. The paper is far easier to understand than\u00a0the book simply because it’s less laden with un-transliterated Greek words (there are still plenty) and the footnotes are easy to delete and ignore if you copy and paste the content into Word. How’s that for a workaround to avoid distractions? (My apologies to Sheehan’s assiduous attributions demonstrating\u00a0the depth of his comprehensive\u00a0scholarship on the German philosopher.)<\/p>\n

I’ve read the paper a couple times and may post a reaction to it. I’m no authority on philosophy, but I still read it as part of an effort to cobble together, slowly and haltingly, a view of what\u00a0painting has the potential to do, when it is at its best. Heidegger’s thinking represents a personal cornerstone in this effort, based on what little he wrote about visual art–though Sheehan’s essay doesn’t address the philosopher’s views in a way that helps me much with that right now. Still, it’s lucid and brief and apparently controversial among some\u00a0core\u00a0Heideggerians. But this is\u00a0what I gather second-hand, because I don’t “follow” philosophy. I’m a layman dogged by\u00a0philosophic questions, and I have only few\u00a0un-entitled opinions to air about it.<\/p>\n

Which brings me to the good news. Entitled Opinions,<\/a> where I discovered Sheehan, is back! I’m only two podcasts behind in the new season. The Stanford University radio program had\u00a0been gone for more than a year. I can’t wait to hear Robert Harrison’s\u00a0new discussions as they become available. I can hear echoes, in the paper, of things said in conversation with Harrison, about how Heidegger\u00a0did little to address the subject of ethics as a philosopher\u00a0(and made some questionable\u00a0ethical\/political choices as an individual). But mostly the content of the paper is distinct from much of what\u00a0Sheehan has said about Heidegger on this podcast.\u00a0I hope he’s on deck, or at least somewhere in the season’s line-up, to talk at length about his new paradigm for understanding the philosopher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
