Other philosophy communities have only interpreted the world in various ways. The point, however, is to change it. [ x ]

Apologies for the late response. I read the posted article and was happy to see that the John Bellamy Foster article I mentioned was also cited. And I found the connection between Heidegger's (and other's) though and imperialism to be so enlightening when I first read it. It really helped purge my remaining fondness for Heidegger, Schopenhauer, (and Zizek too) that I gained from my existentialism days. I liked the critiques toward the end of the Foster article of Zizek's irrationalism w.r.t. the environmental crisis and NATO expansionism. Wish I had more of substance to say, but thanks for sharing this article with us!
