Bob,
Could you perhaps say a little bit more about the "monstrous site"
or the 'monstrosity' to which Schuermann is riveted in his reading
of the Beitraege? (I know that he gave this paper at a conference
in 89, but I don't know where it's been published.)
I know there are those who read the Beitraege as Heidegger's quiet
condemnation of National Socialism; what I find disturbing there is
the proximity of his thinking of 'erignis' to the earlier
nationalistic fervor.
BTW, if you get the chance, I (and I'd bet many others) would love
to hear about Derrida's paper. (I'd guess that he's going to talk
about Nietzsche's 'On Truth and Lie In an Extramoral Sense' and
Heid's B&T claim that 'Dasein is in the truth and untruth
equiprimordially'--but Derrida is notoriously unpredictable!)
Thanks,
Iain
