[Xmca-l] Re: Much belated regards for Larry Purss

[Alfredo Jornet Gil]

Hi Huw, thanks for sharing this. Two years ago, I noticed he stopped writing. I thought it was very strange; we had even been talking about meeting for a coffee in Vancouver some time, since I was in Canada at that time. He was a curious soul, fascinated with ideas from phenomenology, and once shared with me that being able to contribute in xmca and engaging with others in substantial conversations was a real joy for him, his way of being relevant to those ideas he cherished.


After his silence, I did some searches online to see if I could reach him and even called once to a phone number I found. As I shared with Mike at that time, I was afraid something had happened. To be honest, I stopped looking for him too early, I would have found out if I had kept on searching. But now you did, Huw. Thanks for sharing. I miss him.


Alfredo

I'm so saddened to hear of this. I remember having separate discussion with Larry on semiotics and the commercialisation of higher education in England...

Whilst reading into Merleau-Ponty, I thought I'd browse for comments from Larry Purss, as M-P seemed to be a favourite of his. What I gather from a few internet pages is that he passed away two years ago (explaining his silence).

I would like to think that the insights he gleaned / enjoyed form M-P and others helped to anchor his attention on relatedness. He was obviously a much-loved, caring father.
