subliminally i recognise a connection to peter sloterdijk’s "fluidalem kosmopolitismus", to his criticism of the contemporary school philosophy, which "with its desire for academic certainty forgets the emergence of burning desire". the concluding (eleven-page) invocation of sappho and her "colourful throne of eternal aphrodite" is magnificent. whether hintze is referred to as a postmodern romantic, a descendant of the expressionists, a new goliard or a shamanistic pop singer, will not worry the enthusiast. he has found his own rhapsodic tone.
