Martin Heidegger and Hannah Arendt - Heidegger was a famous historian who had an affair with his student, the political theorist Hannah Arendt. They wrote letters to each other for years, and I tried to read the published collection. I tried, but Heidegger’s first letter to Arendt began by congratulating her on how the affair was going to develop her womanhood and keep her from de-feminizing herself with all that book learnin’. I dropped the book after the first few pages, wondering, Why, why, WHY would anyone sleep with this jackass?

I like that: Martin the famous historian, of being. Famous, but apparently not well known.  ¶ 6:34 AM
