This is rhetoric not just if you're trying to persuade me, but if you =
have persuaded yourself with these assertions and what lies behind them. =
Hence whether you believe what Heidegger says is germane. You may have =
inadvertently persuaded yourself, doing rhetoric all the time you =
thought you were "thinking"!
> Refutations of Heidegger are also a waste of time.=20
You sure about that? Perhaps the only way to "refute" Heidegger is to =
think the matter itself, and thus precisely to attend to the task of =
thinking as all of us here wish to do.
> Remarks of the kind=20

level of=20

No, the remark is on the level of truth and thinking the truth. Perhaps =
Aristotle's energeia has not been fully thought by Heidegger. Perhaps =
his misunderstanding of Aristotle leads to his defective History of =
Being. We can only settle this, not by psychology, but by reading =
Aristotle and thinking the matter itself.
Ooooh, can you hear youself? Standard Heideggerian rhetoric: =
"Psychologism! Pshaw!" Yeah, it's pretty easy rhetoric to slip into! =
Nope, I ain't no psychological straw man...
>Instead, only ruthless appropriation of Heidegger by thinking his =
thoughtpaths=20
>will maybe get a beam out of his eye.=20
>So let's get on with it.
Okay, I'm all for redeeming Heidegger. So where do we start? With =
energeia? Or not?
