Panel debate with Rosi Braidotti in the Futures Lecture Series 

Professor Braidotti is a fascinating theorist. I wish she could acknowledge that Heidegger is in fact the foundational thinker for so many of Deleuze's notions. Foucault admitted he owed all he thought to Heidegger. Deleuze, like SO many thinkers, freaked out over the German thinker's submission to the Nazi's for 6 or 9 months of his career. Braidotti's interpretation of Heidegger's idea of being-towards-death seems way off. I subscribe to Hubert Drefus' interpretation of that notion from "Being & Time". Heidegger is the post-modern philosopher who drew on the Stoics to write an ontology of being. Heidegger's anti-humanist philosophy was the first to be accepted by Zen masters AS Zen. By absenting Heidegger's influences, for a variety of reasons (anxiety of influence?) Francophone thinkers do us a disservice.

"We are always running out of time", brilliant.
