No real blood flows in the veins of the knowing subject constructed by Locke, Hume, and Kant, but rather the diluted extract of reason as a mere activity of thought.
Quite, but what can one make of Dilthey? Having failed to make head or tail of the account Heidegger gives of Dilthey's thought, I was interested to read that Dilthey was never able to finish the second volume of his magnum opus.
Sounds like a real thinker, thinking his way into checkmate. That's where authentic thinking always leads, because being isn't a puzzle to be figured out. So far as I can grasp, my being a is role that I must play. I know that sounds a tad Calvinistic, but I think that's where it gets interesting. Because the factor of free choice, I feel certain, does enter in. We are complicit in our being.
