ah sorry man i didn't mean to be critical really.i think your post was
doomed from the fact that (in my email at least) a lot of words were joined
together, which made reading it a tad confusing and headache inducing.

as far as this one goes though, i don't disagree with anything you said at
all!it all looks good to me, and a damn sight clearer than either of us
were last time. the only thing i would say is that whilst i admire your
aims in trying to explain it without any of Heidegger's confusing
terminology, for someone who knows nothing about it, i'm not convinced its
actually possible! so much rides on his definitions and terms that whilst
it can be simplified, i don't think it can be totally broken down into
clear english.although as someone with an exam on this next week, i have to
say that i really wish that it could be!never did i think i'd engage with a
philosopher who makes kant look easy....
