Hi Francoise,
(1) thanks for the reference. It'll wait, though. Lund's university
library hasn't got it, I'll have to order it inter-lib.
(2) In fact, the grounding of knowledge in the body (experience
already has been, by Husserl) is my _obsession_, not headache
in the "Bulgakov" sense I mentioned it in my letters.
When I was referring to headaches "in the "Bulgakov" sense"
I meant the situation when _you_ recognize, notice, and respond to
_another persons_ headache.
Something is happening: her/his headache has become yours.
In fact, your letter illustrates this:
* You notice that something is important for me
* You recognize it as a reason for responding
* You respond
This is always grounded in the body: at least because it is
consuming the time the body has left to live. What do you make of it
as a way of grounding activity in the body? And a follow-up_ what of
the notion that all activity is grounded in the body, through
responsivity?
