Re: Genealogy&Interpretation

Dear Morton, I have, in manuscript form, a paper by Hubert Dreyfus entitled
"Being and Power: Heidegger and Foucault." If you want a copy of it send me
your snail mail address and I'll send you one. This paper might be
published by now somewhere but I don't know where. Somebody gave this to me
at either Johns Hopkins or the New School. It relates to what you are
looking at but is not specifically on Nietsche.
Cheers,
Chris
P.S. I can do the same for a limited number of others.
