Bob:
I meant to mention (for your edification) that Heidegger returns to the
disputed choral strophe from Antigone in his 1944 lecture course on
Hoelderlin's Hymn: The Ister, which has apparently been translated and
published (I have yet to track down a copy). The later reading is quite
different, being considerably more seynsgeschichtlich. What seems in IM to
be an invariant structure of power-conflict is later discussed in the
waxing light of the history of being; power/force/violence fall off the
agenda (resulting from the analysis of machination and will-to-will in the
later Nietzsche lectures and essays -- and, some might argue, from Heid's
increasingly explicit disillusionment with National Socialism). In its
place is an account closely related to the Parmenides lecture from the same
period, dealing again with the uncanny but from the perspective of oblivion
/ destining, as "sojourn in the foreign".
Cheers,
Paul Murphy
