I always read this part of The Open as Ag...Tim, <br /> I always read this part of The Open as Agamben claiming that human apprehension similar to animal apprehension as defined by Uexkull. Certainly, there is meta-ness to his claim, but it might also be in line with OOO's claims about the consciousness of all objects (and that consciousness isn't the carrot for the most highly developed beings, but something much "less"). There is certainly a degree of irony to Agamben's comment here, especially considering his abandonment of Heidegger's open and profound boredom. Of course, Agamben does have a tendency to go "meta" from time to time, and this irony has a ring of "I will show you the ground of your ground!" <br /> Thanks for linking to my blog! This all reminds me that I need to get posting again.martelmdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00869803949371502888noreply@blogger.com
