ΠÏ?ότασις, incipit, welcome

Peter Danenberg

Peter Danenberg (2002-12-09 12:56:53): Welcome to the forum.  The till* of this series is a preparatory encounter with the the newly published eighteenth volume of the Heidegger Gesamtausgabe, "Fundaments of Aristotelean Philosophy" (Grundbegriffe der aristotelischen Philosophie. Klostermann, 2002).  Our main strategy is a negative one: to refrain from deriving unripe consequences and an over-reliant comparison of outside sources.

We will proceed paragraph by paragraph, establishing the topology of the text and cultivating a general ascesis of reading which, not ambitioning to outstrip modesty in the derivation of proposition, may, through constant application, engender a judicious hind- and foresight.

Best,
Your Peter Danenberg
