Hi Kenneth,
If you look back in the archives some years, you'll see that I lost my
virginity and lily-white vest long ago. I have trouble suffering fools gladly,
but can usually manage it. Arrogant, close-minded fools, however, raise my ire.
So, until I myself descend into the state of doddering old fool, I indulge my
weakness.
A Heideggerian like RdB pities me for still being caught in metaphysical
thinking (that's the usual cop-out).
Marxists I know pity me for still being caught in bourgeois idealist thinking.
What's the diff?
Both estimations are rather underestimations.
And both Heideggerians and Marxists don't know at all what to make of my
phenomenology of manliness. Then other labels are applied, like "naive realism"
or "ahistorical" or "not related to women's lives" or "Heidegger jargon" or...
Like Protogoras said, truth is individual (not subjective). Therefore all truth
(and especially the deepest truths) only comes to light among human beings, if
it ever does, through strife and contention. One does not have to be Bruno, who
was burnt at the stake on Campo dei Fiori in Rome, to know that.
