summer 2025

I’m enthused about upcoming points in my conceptual story.

But do I lose credibility by calling a discursive venture a story?

Narrativity is an elastic thing, like phenomenality, or “Literary” sensibility.

I’ve reached the point I’ve long anticipated where posting becomes more frequent. But I don’t log how active I am online, including comments at Washington Post articles (e.g., Ukraine war), comments at the Facebook/Heidegger Forum and posting there which is sometimes copied to my Facebook/Heidegger page (e.g., “Truth as such is not yet truth of being”); and posting to X (e.g., more on the Ukraine aggression)

iso-belonging across modes of life

Finding isomorphic relations is fascinating. The eight short parts of “iso-belonging” prospect my interest in isomorphic thinking relative to aspects of belonging, from a horizon of “a pragmatic sense of life” (previous note here) to conceptual modeling of action.

This is a very close reading of a Heideggerian scholar’s essay on why he regards Heidegger as “mystical,” which is invalid (in my view), but admirably discussed by him. (The author, Richard Capobianco, is an acquaintance.)

My reading may seem tedious at times, but his essay is available by link (and PDF download) at the top of my discussion, for following along.
