    Hi Paul

    Interesting. Yes for Heidegger thinking is an activity ascribable to being
    and human being. Inseparable like DQ and human being. Same stuff.
    SQ is of course something that can be held at a distance, a sort of
    stretch separation. If Scott's arguments against using the anti-essentialist
    term are valid, he needs to drop the use of essentialism for the
    same/opposite
    reasons.

    This is fun/painful.
