Im reading Time of the Magicians: Wittgenstein, Benjamin, Cassirer, Heidegger, and the Decade That Reinvented Philosophy by Wolfram Eilenberger

And you’re telling me, why?

Extremes  Benjamin's Epistemo-Critical Prologue

                                                     An since your WOD has recently leaned heavy on German words  why   beats the hell out of me

Because it irritates you.

                            You try to make no bones about it, but it does.

An it does only because theyre not your vernacular  Youll never repeat a one ofem again

    Maybe I will.

I believe you wont

                       Run with this German beaut  Erkenntniskritische Vorrede

You run with it.

German for Epistemo-Critical Prologue the opening methodological essay of Benjamins Nineteentwentyeight book The Origin of German Tragic Drama

                                              Ursprung des deutschen Trauerspiels

Run.

Thanks

So again, extremes, why are you telling me?

Because youre critical when I start slicing things into smaller an smaller portions the working integral par . .

. . Too much detail

An yours  virtually devoid

As I’ve said, broad strokes, do it in broad strokes, baby.

The object of Benjamins attention is a kind of monad  unity totality of all things  seeking to reveal the entire state of the world  past  present  future

The representation of an idea an I quote

                                           Cannot under any circumstances be considered successful unless the full range of extremes that it contains has been virtually explored.

 

That’s your defense of nitpicking?

Not defence

                A confirmation

Im not as unique as you think

Just one of the boys and girls

    Maybe you share it with them and not labor me.

Irritate     You
