OTD in 1880, Charles Darwin published The Power of Movement in Plants. D believed that plants are active agents in the world: âA radicle may be compared with a burrowing animal such as a mole, which wishes to penetrate perpendicularly down into the ground.â đ§Șđ±đ

more translation work from Horkheimerâs fragments on dialectical logicâthis oneâs from an earlier draft of the (1944) fragment âHaupt- und Nebensatzâ that Horkheimer quotes in a letter (also in the works!) to Tillich as part of a defense of his & Adornoâs new âstyleâ of writing in 1942

After an insane Sept â41 letter from Horkheimer on the contradiction of all speech that betrays its unintended intent of âaddressing others as possible members of the future association of free human beingsâ (communism latent in universality of language), Adorno replies in unconditional affirmation:

the last time F. Weil sees Horkheimer, H faux apologizes for publicly downplaying the Marxism of the pre-50s ISR & FWâs contribution. H stumbles on the train platform, & a stranger catches him. Weil (sounding like Regius) says: I hope the God of his new piety will be there to catch him soon too.

Adorno: â[O]ntic elements assumed into ontology exact their revenge. Heideggerâs ontological Entwurf [re:] the understanding of Being integrates elements which, because they belong to the mere ontic realm, withdraw from the understanding, ⊠in the end, all that remains are empty words.â
