Heidegger attacks the truth that the recognition of beauty is

He is completely outside the artworld that elevated Van Gogh above
thousands
of other painters who depicted "peasant clothing" - and until proven
otherwise, he appears to have been outside any community
of visual discernment at all -- collecting nothing -- preserving
nothing --
practicing nothing -- and utterly oblivious to the major art
controversy of
his time ("decadent art" versus social idealism)
He knew as much about visual beauty as I know about Chinese opera.
I suppose that his iconic status is such that you and William have
to kneel
and kiss his pinky ring -- but his philosophy is firmly opposed to
the life of
forms in art.
I don't see any attacks on truth from Heidegger. It would not be
wise.
Truth always wins. (Boris)
