"Macquarrie remains one of the most
important commentators [on] ...
Heidegger's work. His co-translation
of Being and Time into English is
considered the canonical version."
-- Wikipedia
The Rev. Macquarrie died on
May 28. The Log24 entry
for that date contains the
following illustration:
The part of the illustration
relevant to the death of
Macquarrie is the color.
From my reply to
a comment on the
May 28 entry:
From McKenna's afterword:
on the aging druggie. I didn't like the hippie scene in the sixties and
I don't like it now. Booze was always my drug of choice. Still,
checking further, I found that McKenna's afterword to Dick's In Pursuit of Valis was well written."
is not a psychological disorder peculiar to human beings. Schizophrenia
is not a disease at all but rather a localized traveling discontinuity
of the space time matrix itself. It is like a travelling whirl-wind of
radical understanding that haunts time. It haunts time in the same way
that Alfred North Whitehead said that the color dove grey 'haunts time
like a ghost.'"
any remarks of Whitehead
on the color "dove grey"
(or "gray") but Whitehead
did say that
colour is eternal. It haunts time like a spirit. It comes
and it goes. But where it comes it is the same colour. It
neither survives nor does it live. It appears when it is wanted."
--Science and the Modern World, 1925
McKenna on the color
"dove grey" may be
taken, in a schizophrenic
(or, similarly, a Christian) way,
as a reference to the Holy Spirit.
My own remarks on the hippie
scene seem appropriate as a
response to media celebration
of today's 40th anniversary of
the beginning of the 1967
"summer of love."
