Dear Bertil,
I've read that book, and Schwarz's essay as well, of course. Schwarz older
book dealing with Juenger is quite a good one, no doubt about that. His essay
in Schwilk's birthday book for Juenger on the other hand is not convincing at
all. To discuss some of Juenger's prognosises is exactly what I'd like to do
here in this (serious, as I hope) mailing list. It's not that I'd like to
prove anything to you, I'd like to dicuss these questions of my own, as I
have been dealing with Juenger now for long, and I'm trying to evaluate: what
is his importance as philosopher, are his prognosises relevant, do they give
any new insight, always compared with analysts like Marx, Schmitt, Kondylis,
and others.
I would be very grateful if you could start with discussing this topic. If
you don't like that, if you prefer to go on with your "school" without being
disturbed by questions from outside, I'll leave you alone. It's quite
interesting for me, because I observed the mailing list members' discussion
concerning the NATO bombing in Yugoslavia, which started with Ernst Juenger
as reference point, but didn't prove any specific applicability of
"Juengerian" insights in this concrete case.
For my sake let's discuss his models of recognition in a more abstract manner
then.
Curiously waiting for arguments,
Yours very truly
KvK
