Thanks for the comments. I am thinking about it and will try to say
more. I fear my comments would be too abstract in that I am tempted to
dispose of the what question as being too specific and instead think of
a how question, which is to say a pragmatic question and this leads to
me Heidegger and Daisen as not just an empirical question of what is
being and the metaphysics of being but as a pragmatic question of how to
care for new beings and the invention of novel ideas. The how questions
are those that are universal or could it said, tend to the universal?
Pragmatics in asking how takes on for itself a metaphysical ethics of
care which seems to circulate in and around (perhaps?) the poetics I am
trying to get some understanding of. (I will accept this project I have
stumbled onto is a novel poetics but ethical questions remain and some
sort of answer seems to be needed.)
I need to say more, not a good answer to the comments, I admit. Am
thinking about comments, so thanks, again.
For Derrida; Deleuze, Badiou, Heidegger, Kant, Aristotle and I would
add, Derrida, are names of problems which remain open. Empiricism and as
such, pluralism, are features of these problems which are not resolved
by a final closure. The comments on Badiou are consistent with the
Clamour of Being, the book on Deleuze, so they are problems posed by Badiou.
