I said of course what Wittgenstein said could not be spoken about was
exactly what Heidegger wanted to talk about.
The reply was: I totally agree. But what for? What did he obtained? His
philosophy is a model example of wishful thinking and solving pseudoproblems
like "what does it mean to be"? I can say "I understand existence
through existence itself" but what progress did I make by stating
this?
I answered;
The question of Being may be worth nothing to you but to me it is the most
fundamental of all questions the question of most importance.
I said;
Heidegger also said Zen was about exactly what he was trying to say.
The reply was;
So what? Did he experienced satori? Did he sit in zazen? I have never
heard about it. How did he know zen is compatible with his philosophy.
Because he read some books? What an ourageous arrogance...
I answered; Zen philosophers of the Kyoto school wanted Heideggerian
philosophers to use Zen.
I said; As Heidegger is the only serious philosopher of the last century...
The reply I got was;
What can I say...? It's a very controversial opinion (and not
supported by any proofs).I replyed; To find prove you have to look for it may
be try reading my web site?
