I do not have a British accent. Ask any Brit. But my mother studied elocution and I learned to speak English from my mother. This is why it is called the mother tongue. I got in trouble as a child, clearly it is is still an issue for some. Sorry that you are offended by this. I assure you, as I had just lost my husband, it is no affectation, it was not deliberate. I still speak this way, although I can put on a local NY style accent if I pay attention, but this, what you hear here, at my most vulnerable, is the way I speak.
Brilliant Babette ~ the splitting between Althusser and Balibar is the in-between, a parallelism of Lacan>Zizek thoughtforms in psychoanalysis and the divergence from Deleuze, perhaps the between of Having and Being and the gap between being-in and being-for; of the two truths of the annihilatists and eel wrigglers in buddhism ~ I am just delving into Hereclitus, Thales and Anixamander and ask what would animist thoughtforms add? The micro-macro as mediated by the hermeneutics of, who? Bojan Radej is attempting to suggest a mesoscopic inquiry of ....
I think it is important to mention that Nietzsche rejected Wagner and his circle - he was quite close to becoming a German Crowley, who did fall under the spell of Wagner.
Thoughts that come with doves footsteps guide the world. Very good presentation; I appreciate you uploading this for the rest of us to see. Excited to watch your talk on UAPs when i get the time to do so.
I visited Patrick for some days at his home to talk about phenomenology and quantum theory. He fed me cookies. He was full of grace. It would have been just as wonderful to sit together and watch ducks--such was his universal, radiant, presence; he was a splendor of the True. Thank you Prof. Babette for this.
I was an undergraduate student at age 20. I now see I had an advanced Philosopher in front of me. I remember you walking slowly back and forth, expressing thoughts. Sorry, I could not APPRECIATE YOU. I see it now. GOD BLESS YOU, DR. PATRICK HEELAN. Regardless of all.
I love the irreverent presentation and the knowledge. I enjoy German culture: Goethe, Holderlin and Nietzchse - three geniuses beyond dispute - not so much Heidegger though, he isn't sincere by even the most generous yardstick.
Dr. Heelan was a Jesuit Priest. Respect to him, but in the end, he trusts in his GOD and not the intellectual sophisticated chaos, that professional intellectuals think means wisdom. I am not a Christian, but a Vedanta type of guy. I trust that Dr. Heelan is levels beyond all of us. He had 3 doctorates...philosophy, physics, and theology. I had him as a 19 year old, and, I sensed his wisdom. But, alas, WE ARE ALL HUMAN. So, the questions of philosophy are: Does a God exist?, If no then Nietsche. If yes, then 1 life, heaven or hell, according to monotheistic shit religion. OR, IS VEDANTA TRUE.? Many lives, religions, experiences. WE KEEP COMING BACK TO GROW SPIRITUALLY. Especially if we have to prove it as an UKRANIAN SOLDIER, who has chosen to leave his wife and children to fight EVIL.
Thank you for uploading this! I'm currently reading Sven-Olof Wallensteins book on enlightenment aesthetic in the 1700s; outside of an academic context, and for my own enjoyment, uploaded seminars on youtube is a great benefit for someone like me. I know the troubles of zoom-lectures and the unruly nature of PowerPoints etc, still as a critique, I have to say it was very hard to follow with the erratic changes of slides, especially with large quotes, I had to pause playback and rewind, only to find myself losing focus and snapping out of thoughts. (Sometimes towards the end I was actually wondering if it was a mannerist choice related to aesthetic!) I don't want to sound to harsh, I really enjoyed this, and Im thankful that I get to partake in this lecture!, Its just that the mid-quote slidechanges, fried my brain, and I could not focus. Anyway, take care and again thanks for the upload!
Thank you. Marvelous. What has interested me for quite some time is the relationship between reproduction and repetition, even going so far as to ask if mechanical reproduction may be a facilitator of the Wiederholngzwang.
Babette, you and I had the pleasure of studying with Prof Heelan and graduating with you in 1980 at Stonybrook. I really enjoyed the time and was pleased to see your post. Michael Christ
See for the continuation of this lecture on the Prefaces to the Critique of Pure Reason on the second edition of the Critique: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mPGHwiJk4Ac.html
Thank you. This is both beautiful and illuminating. Grumbling in the wings one finds the virile "Nietzschen" (or Spinozist, depending on one's mood) American poet Robinson Jeffers, whose stock in trade was a form of bitter, angry irony (in "The Double Axe" for example).
For a lifelong friend's account of the circumstances and details of Bill Richardson's rather famed thesis defense in Louvain (Leuven), see the interview Patrick Heelan gave, posted on RU-vid: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xIYjgpEunnE.html
