Hi Laurence,
You make it sound as if my assessment comes from a mere five minute
encounter with Martin Heidegger. You will have to take my word that I
have looked into the issue closely enough to write a dissertation and a
small book on Emmanuel Levinas and his departure from the Heideggerian
approach. And, furthermore, I'm not at all dismissing Heidegger.
I don't mean to sound defensive here. But it seems to me that you are the
one who is making snap judgments. No hostility here. Just trying to clarify.
Sincerely,
Tony
