You have the tendency to reduce people and things to just one aspect. I never said that I'm *solely* interested in the entomological aspect in Juenger's work and my contributions to this list over the years show that my interests in Juenger are quite far-reaching. You know that very well. I hate to say this, Bertil, but it's difficult conversing with you as you're deliberately misreading me. You're also, at least sometimes, reducing Juenger to the aspects you like: You present him as some sort of geopolitical strategist, which is ok, I'm not saying you can't do that. However, by doing so you create the impression that Juenger was somehow in the pro-Western camp, which I'm afraid he wasn't. You also completely leave out the more mystical aspects in Juenger's work - concepts like "Erdrevolution" (earth's revolution), "Erdvergeistigung" (spiritualization of the earth) or "Weissung" (whiteout) - which are absolutely key to understand the late Juenger. > and am sure that you will > remain a contributor to the list with great knowledge of > Juenger, although lately, I must admit, I haven't seen much > by your esteemed hand here. But that's your fault, not mine -- because you have been absent from this list for a longer period of time (as you yourself admitted in a posting just a couple of weeks ago). Anyway, I think we should stop our little controversy here -- the other listmembers are already yawning. Regards, RBR
