Tom:
Very, very quickly (I'm not on my home computer and have to hurry off
somewhere): about the question of the 'ownmost': what this means for
Heidegger (and whether there are multiple ownmosts) requires thinking
through what is 'own', what is 'eigen', proprius, 'proper'. From here the
question of authenticity is charged: what is properly mine is
'eigentlich', giving rise to the issue of 'Eigentlichkeit'. Decisions
regarding the schematic contours of properness would require being able
to distinguish proper from non-proper, the proper and the foreign (as the
Hoelderlin lectures stipulate: Hoelderlin's 'learning the free use of the
proper' is the fate-ful question posed to the Germans). Which
sounds like a slippery slope and germane to your way of questioning (?).
More later,
Paul
