Still not very far in Sein und Zeit...
Do you know what Cato123 meant by the Newton : Einstein :: Heidegger : Wittgenstein analogy in the 'nature of number' thread? I don't know what Wittgenstein thought of Heidegger... but wouldn't Levinas fit that role better than Wittgenstein? (Although I take it they were critics of Heidegger from different angles...)

If you want to elicit a confession you have just got one, I my knowledge of the background philosophers behind my convictions is woefully poor. I have nailed myself to my particular flag, not through the writings that have influenced the movement, but rather because of my emotional response to the artists works of that movement. I know that to be a mad state of affairs, Being that I am like so many in the church of England that have no particular belief in god, but rather like the architecture of their twelfth century church and find it a nice place to sit on a Sunday.
Well this is as good a time as any to put that right, would you point me in a direction where I can find out more?
