My reading feels harmonious right now. I'm reading The Immortalization Commission at a healthy pace, and I'm also reading some of Heidegger's essays from Poetry, Language, Thought. I've read 'Building Dwelling Thinking' (twice), 'The Thing' (once with 0 comprehension), and I'm almost through 'What Are Poets For?'.
Heidegger is definitely a great was to compliment my reading of John Gray. Gray has cited Heidegger in other works, and definitely owes him a debt. Better yet, a good portion of 'What Are Poets For?' is devoted to the analysis of Rilke's poetry. Rilke is my boy.
I have also made some connections between Heidegger and Collingwood. Both have a problem with our so called scientific civilization.
Something about technological nihilism.
Something about poetic modes of thought being a way out.
Something about logocentric culture and objectification.
Something about Being and representation.
Something about re-enactment/simulation theory and bridging the subject-object divide.
Something about Being and Simulation.
A piece of writing for the future, perhaps.
