Are you OK with my retweeting this? I realize it’s off-the-cuff and you may want to wait for a more polished version.

I don’t mind as long as you don’t notice any glaring errors (and you think it’d be intelligible to anyone without context). The lack of polish gives me plausible deniability if I discover I was horribly wrong when I actually read Heidegger

I look forward to reading about how you connect all this with object-relations theory! Phil Agre and I did a graduate seminar in that stuff with George Goethals in ~1987, and it influenced us significantly.

Goethals was a famously inspiring teacher. I hope someday to write about the teachers that have most changed me, and he would be one. Can find almost nothing about him on the web, but there’s this from 20 years earlier:https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1964/5/20/goethals-named-a-dean-may-teach/ …

I recently found out about this book, which is a Dreyfus approved comparison of Wittgenstein's body work (from the Tractatus to the Philosophical Investigtations and beyond) and Heidegger's that I've enjoyed skimming:https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/groundless-grounds …

"...Braver argues that the views of both thinkers emerge from a fundamental attempt to create a philosophy that has dispensed with everything transcendent so that we may be satisfied with the human." Sounds familiar!https://twitter.com/Meaningness/status/854471179981045760?s=20 …
