[lbo-talk] Heidegger and Ratzinger....oh freude, freude

[Thomas Seay]

I dont like the Rat, but in all fairness, he was
probably forced into conscription.  Heidegger, on the
other hand, took part in getting Jews fired when he
was rector at Freiburg(???) and, as far as I know,
never did even try to apologize.  I dont know if this
latter fact is something that should be appreciated
(as being at least honest) or despicable.

<<We are at such a point in mankind's evolution where changed conditions invalidate all our policies that have been so successful even in the recent past, and that presumably have constituted the ideal response to a presumably unchanging and unchangeable human condition.  No wonder we are stupefied and confused-but our mistake is the same which many cultures have made before us, namely to force a rigid model upon a fluid reality.
