I should think so ;-)

It's an interesting phrase, that one. On first reading it suggests a
wonderfully pre-Copernican mentality. On closer appraisal, it reveals its
own ambiguity and we're back to the proposal that we all create our own
worlds. That there is no world an sich - but rather a multitude of
discursive productions. I'm not sure which reading fits EJ better - he was
certainly never one to centre Man entirely, and does seem to believe,
especially post-WW2, that the world can be read and decoded.

I've also discovered a couple of new EJ pages. One's in Portugese. The
other's a translation into English of an essay by Alain de Benoist (Nouvelle
Droite intellectual) appreciating EJ's life and works. Curiously, it's on
the Web site of the English radical right journal "The Scorpion". I've added
these two links to the WWW site under
ttp://www.sjc.ox.ac.uk/users/king/juenger/fr_ejlinks.html.
I'm not convinced J benefits from this sort of company, having grown out
political radicalism a long, long time ago.
