Heidegger's ontopoetology: The poetic projection of Being. Rio de Janeiro, 2016. 356p. Doctoral Thesis – Departamento de Filosofia, Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro. Ecstatic Being takes place as the way in which the concealed origin futurely comes towards itself, which Heidegger calls the ‘appropriating event’ (Ereignis). This self-appropriation of Being is a turning homewards as a homecoming, which has no longer its say in Heidegger’s late thought by means of the language of metaphysics, in terms of the being of Dasein or the being of entities, i.e. the language of presence, but poetically, silently, as the language of absence, i.e. the mystery. Heidegger’s view that poetry is the language of Being spoken of Being by Being we call ‘ontopoetology’. Keywords Heidegger; ontology; metaphysics; history; language; poetry; truth. Resumo Geertsema, Marius Johan; Lyra Netto, Edgar de Brito. A Ontopoetologia de Heidegger: a projeção poética do Ser. Rio de Janeiro, 2016. 356p. Tese de Doutorado – Departamento de Filosofia, Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro. O Ser extático existe como o modo pelo qual a origem oculta se e volta a si mesma futuramente, o que Heidegger chama de ‘o evento apropriador’ (Ereignis). Esta auto-apropriação do Ser é uma viagem pela estranheza, um virar em direção à casa, como um retorno à casa, que no pensamento tardio de Heidegger já não se expressa mais por meio da linguagem da metafísica, em termos do ser do Dasein ou o ser dos entes, ou seja, a linguagem da presença, mas poeticamente, silenciosamente, como a língua de ausência, ou seja, o mistério. A perspectiva de Heidegger que a poesia é a linguagem do Ser é falado de Ser pelo Ser que chamo de ‘onto-poetologia’.

Friedrich Hölderlin, Hyperion 9 Introduction In thinking all things become solitary and slow. Heidegger, From the Experience of Thinking To present an introduction in philosophy is to assume, in Heidegger’s view, that the one who ought to be initiated stands at first outside of philosophy.1 But in fact, the historical human being stands essentially and therefore always already within philosophy, Heidegger argues in line with a historization of Plato’s original argument.2 Strictly thought, there cannot exist an introduction into philosophy. The historical human being moves always already around in thought by ‘thinking of’ (andenken) and ‘thinking towards’ (zu-denken), which Heidegger calls the ‘wellspring’ of poetry.3 As a remembering (andenkendes) being, the human being philosophizes. Philosophy, that is to say the human being itself, has a Janus head that looks at once back and ahead. That which is thought towards and at the same time already thought before, is man’s area of abidance (Aufenthaltsbereich) as philosophy, which has a poetic source. Since all human beings are essentially thinking beings, they cannot be ‘in’-troduced into what they already are. Philosophy is, in Heidegger’s view, therefore rather the remembrance and appropriation of what one already is, namely a way; a becoming; a historically self-appropriating being. Although man is a thinking being, not everyone is a thinker and at any given time already thinking.4 We should therefore, in Heidegger’s view, as thinking beings first become thoughtful. This means that one might be reminded of one’s thinking nature, like Heidegger intends to do by means his writings and we in his shadow try in this ‘introduction’ as well. We say ‘we’, since it is essential that the reader is included in that contemplation. Thinking can only be disclosed by means of thinking itself, instead of mere representing, ordering or cataloguing. Let us not 1 HEIDEGGER, M.

  • An Interview with Damon Knight
    No. 34 March 1972 An Interview With Damon Knight Conducted by Paul Walker* What has been the most interesting development in science fiction since 1960? What has been the most obnoxious, to you, personally? The most interesting development would have to be the movement of com­ mercial science fiction back toward the standards of literary science fiction from which it diverged about 70 years ago. This is what's putting some life back into the field for the first time since the early 50's. The least pleasant develop­ ment, I guess, would be Sol Cohen's reprint magazines. One way of measuring the health of the field is by counting the number of good new writers who appear in it each year. I wrote a piece about this for the Clarion anthology; the chart that goes with it shows a peak (24) in 1930, another (17) in 1941, another (28) in 1951, and then a long slow decline to 1965, the last year for which I had records — the figure there was 1. I have not been able to draw the rest of that line, but I think I know what it would look like. How has the role of editor fared in the same time? Generally speaking, if you're talking about the magazines and most of the paperbacks, I think science fiction editing has been a downhill thing since 1950 — more routine, less rewarding, less effective. Struggling to keep dead things afloat is no fun for anybody. As far as I'm concerned, my experience is not typical.

HARRISON Bachelor of Arts Cameron State College Lawton, Oklahoma 1970 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS July, 1971 / I CAIUS MARIUS AND RDMAN FACTIONAL POLITICS" Thesis Approved: 903892 ii PREFACE Historians have recently given increased consideration to the life of Caius Marius. Heretofore he was recognized as a military leader and statesman of Rome during the second and first centuries, BoC., but little was really known of the man himselfo His military ability has long been recognized by historians and his contributions to the development of the Roman anny have often been recounted. His activities :in the political field are less auspicious and, hence, more obscure. Recent findings reveal Marius as an investor and financier of high standing in Rome. He is currently being shown as having had far more inUuence in the economic life of Rome than was previously suspected. The sum of his attributes and accomplishments give cause to question why such an important Rom~ public figure could be forced to exile himself from Rome. The question is heightened in view of Marius' almost unprecedented position in the city at the end of the Ciwbric Wars. The pop'Ulace and his veterans went so far as to compare Marius to the god Dionysus, and to declare him "The Third Founder of Rome" after Romulus and Camillus. Yet, Marius deliberately chose exile in preference to the scorn of his fellow-citizens in 99 B.C., after the actions of his political agents had outraged the Romans of economic and social consequence.

It is conceived as a prologue to the longer study, whose subject- matter follows immediately on it: Lineages of the Absolutist State. The two books are articulated directly into each other, and ultimately suggest a single argument. The relationship between the two - antiquity and feudalism on the one hand, and absolutism on the other - is not immediately apparent, in the usual perspective of most treat- ments of them. Normally, ancient history is separated by a professional chasm from mediaeval history, which very few contemporary works attempt to span: the gulf between them is, of course, institutionally entrenched in both teaching and research.

Brady Jr. & Jonathan Sheehan, Co-Chairs In 1571 the Nuremberg physician, Joachim Camerarius (1534-1598), submitted for the appraisal of his city's Senate, a substantial manuscript titled "Short and Ordered Considerations for the Formation of a Well-Ordered Regime.” As one of these 'considerations', he petitioned the Council to establish a Collegium medicum: an institutional body that would operate under the council's mandate to regulate and reform the practice of medicine in the Imperial City of Nuremberg. Although never published, this text became the manifesto of an ongoing movement for the reform and reorganization of medicine throughout the sixteenth century. This 'medical reformation' was a professional claim to social status and political authority on the part of academically educated municipal physicians. More elusively and more importantly,
