Re: Another twist on overcoming


As early as the the _Geschichte des Zeitbegriffs_ H. affirms the inability
of philosophy to teach us how to lead a good life, to be moral, to be
saints rather than fiends. Philosophy is inherently disinterested in a
certain profound way, hence its methodological atheism. Isn't accusing
the Sache des Denkens because of its obliviousness to human concerns
a bit like assaulting relativity theory because it provides no possible
basis for ethics?

Just a comment jotted down in haste.
