On the Heidegger discussion, I think Joseph's comments on how to read H are
very useful. You just have to get into the right way of looking at things -
or rather, of not just looking at things and thinghood. Then the language
is clear.
Even so, I am in Susanna's camp. I am wary of the 'ontological need'.
Adorno, who is a wonderful philosopher of art, is also the author of the
best critique I know of Heidegger - 'Negative Dialectics'.
(Aside. Is either one though a filmphilosopher? Is cinephilia a
prerequisite? or philosophilia?)
