Massthink on projections of science.
Massthink on projections of science.
Modern science, like any cultural-historical world (the structure that determines the mode of being in which beings appear), sets up conditions that allows beings to appear within those conditions (i.e. beings then show up according to that structure). Specifically, in modern science, mathematics is equivalent to a metaphysical projection: beings are projected as mathematical projection to calculate the calculable. Modern science is thus not only the a posteriori knowledge that science gets, but is first and foremost the a priori ontological projection of a certain mode of being in which beings appear.¶ 11:33 AM

Thank you for this. I also sent you an e-mail. (This comment actually belongs to the Ereignis explantation dated 30 August 2007—I post it here to be sure that you get ear of it).
I am feeling a little edgy tonight having watched Lynch's "Fire Walk With Me". But to use your formulation of the problem, Athens v Jerusalem—I opted for Rome v Judea—David in my view is firmly on the side of Athens. He is the Athens within Jerusalem, that is, the USA.
We have much to share, or perhaps not that much, since we think alike it looks like. Still I do recommend my own blogpage http://thomasromer.blogspot.com if only because it contains a few more disclosures through the Ereignis thinking you quoted here. In particular my dialogue Lathoron, last paragraph, and a confrontation with the old man, Nietzsche.
A decisive step was reached with the thought on Inhabitation, which I think corresponds to the thinking Heidegger envisaged as that which would succeed his, viz. pre-socratic in feel if not in style, where poetic creation and philosophy become one and emphasis on the concept "world". Of course the larger impact is the necessity as I see it of a new religion, which I rather lazily called Ereignis for that matter, a religion for the few, that is, for the few warriors there are left in the world ("without us there is no world"). "Only a god can save us"—implied, us warriors. As Nietzsche had found out : "Carefree, mocking, violent—thus wisdom wants us. She is a woman, she only ever loves a warrior."
The god by the way is Iragmo. The etymology speaks for itself. A 1944 text by Heidegger noted from a Nietzschean aphorism that without a god man is deprived of a world. He therefore becomes animal in the sense of being poor-in-world. It is a sign of the truth of this statement that, before knowing of it, I had contemporaneously conveived of both the thought on inhabitation and the god's name which came to me whilst brooding in the restaurant I worked in this summer.
