It is all very exciting and fascinating, virtual teaching, etc. Will it
be help ful in teaching medical students how to dissect a corpse?
Fingertips experienc e, "spitzengefuehl," seems fundamental. I would
hope that all initiates be aske d to ponder Heidegger's late essays on
Poetry, and Technology, in which he reac ted after WWII to technology,
which 30 years earlier, Freud had welcomed. H ask ed,"We can come
nearer (via technology, to matter; x-rays, spectrascopy, tom-co res,
etc), but do we approach any closer? It is a basic problem of
philosophy, first examined extensively in Plato's SOPHIST. It wont go
away because we hav e surrogate senses, which others prepare for us,
mind you, and are different fr om our senses, which require group
discipline to correct, too. Jascha Kessler
