Chris,

Maybe you could elaborate why you think Heidegger's anti-science approach is "good " ?

Charles <<<<<>>>>>

i'm not chris, i've not been following this thread, and i'm not big on heidegger, but i don't think he was anti-science per se, as i recall, he claimed that philosophical conceptions of human nature were mistaken, this had resulted in technological dominance over human existence, better - according to him - was recognition of 'human essence' as 'realm of disclosure', this would ostensibly allow people to escape the dominance of technology by developing a more receptive relationship to *being* (with a capital b), his term for self-conscious existence, the meaning of which was fundamental to his philosophy...

reading over above, i have no idea what any of it means... mh
