Over at Long Sunday a post on the Heidegger-Marcuse correspondence has lead to a long river of comments, moving on to the Heidegger-Carnap dispute. I was tickled by this technology assisted method of resolving arguments:

Googling it (yea tres savvage) you will perceive (that is if you subscribe to any commonly accepted standards of argument and reasoning) that Herr Carnap knocked out Heidegger rather quickly.

Rubbish says I. If you use that criteria, the winner is quite decisively in the other corner. Not that I would use that as criteria, mind you, just pointing out the truth as corresponding to the facts. It's all about how you define "perceive", I suppose.  ¶ 10:07 AM
