QUE VIVAN LOS "PRESERVERS" !  (Mando)

Quite so!  This is the part of Heidegger that I would like to quote --
including the following:

"The Preservers  of a work belong  to its createdness with an essentially
equal  to that of the creator"

Artists of our era are  happy to have the "preservers"  pay them and celebrate
their work -- but recognize their role as "essentially equal" to that of the
artist ?

No way - though come to think of it - in most eras, the  "preservers" were
aristocrats who called the tune , while those whom we now recognize as great
artists were just tradesmen who played the song.

Unfortunately, Heidegger will conclude that "the origin of the work of art -
that is the origin of both the creators and the preservers, is .... a
distinctive way in which truth comes into being, that is, becomes historical"

Which would invite historical argument to establish  success in both  roles,
based on the question:

"what is the truth of our time?" (as distinguished from those times that came
before)

That's why Heidegger is so important to a Marxist like Saul -- but why would
William and Boris be so fond of him ?  (both of whose work seem to belong to a
time that came before)
