i am somewhere near martin heidegger and william morris on the TQ

I'm pro-Heidegger conceptually, but I don't think his tools for thinking about techne point to any special pro/anti conclusion.

his early use of augustine on time was not simply the vestige of 'christian' schooling - he wrote that 'the arrow of time'

most ppl aren't talking about this
