My friend the poet Joe Wenderoth suggested I listen to Louis Armstrong while reading Heidegger to keep Heidegger “honest.” Since I have only one tape of Armstrong, I'm trying Donna Summer, “Aint Nobody” juxtaposed with Being and Time. Actually it seems to work amazingly well. Anything to subtract the onto-theology.
And while we're on the subject, I ordered Lingis's new book a couple of days ago. Can't wait to read it. And some Michel Henry.
Heidegger vs. Summer Claymation Celebrity Deathmatch?
ReplyDeleteYeah, but Armstong's all over YouTube.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to spoil the party but don't you mean Rufus & Chaka Khan's "Ain't Nobody"? Either way, it's a great song!
ReplyDeleteYeah no somehow the version I like is by Donna Summer
ReplyDeleteSorry Marc--my bad, the version is indeed Chaka Khan...I shall emend this.
