I disagree. Average everydayness covers over the uncanniness and fundamental absencing of Dasein. "Uncanniness is the fundamental kind of being-in-the...

Merleau-Ponty and many other phenomenologists critiqued Sartre’s distinction between the in-self and the for-itself as an unsustainable remnant of Kan...

Awareness , apprehension and perception may be a bit too close to the passivity of subject-object oppositionality. I noticed that, surprisingly, he do...

Don’t forget Marxism, and its associated dialectical materialism.

Yes.It’s ‘Logic: The Question of Truth’(1925-26)

I agree in general with your points. I would just say about 2) that Heidegger doesn’t. accept the concept of consciousness. Dasein is not a consciousn...

I think this is the crux of the matter. I believe that all of us, including Heidegger and Hitler, are beyond good and evil. That is to say, following ...

I want to get back to what you said in your OP. You asked the question ‘What is ‘isness’? I don’t know how comfortable you will be with this , but wha...

These essential characteristics of historical existence are nothing other than the historicality of existence itself. I wouldnt say the essentialities...

Let me see if I’m understanding what you mean when you say persistence and becoming both presuppose being. Are you arguing that we need both the conce...

What’s the difference between being in general and the totality of being of dasein?

Past , present and future.

This sounds like the view of time Heidegger is critiquing, that events occur ‘in’ time , that things come into presence and ‘ occupy’ time and then di...

He certainly is, if you are referring to the ontological understanding of the being of Dasein. “We defined the being of Da-sein as care. Its ontologic...

In the quote below, Heidegger equates occurrence with existing , and existing with transition( elsewhere he uses the word ‘becoming’), and transition ...

You’re right about Dreyfus’s interpretation, but Dreyfus has gone out of fashion as a reader of Husserl and Heidegger. I suppose I’d could call Heideg...

Being-towards-death certainly reminds many of Kierkegaard, but the feature of Heidegger’s analysis of death that I find valuable doesn’t rest on death...

There isn’t such a distinction for Heidegger. To exist is movement and becoming, not static presence to self.

I don’t know that the being of things has any status for Heidegger except as a distorted and flattened modification of the ‘as’ structure’ of disclosu...

If we remove Heidegger’s analysis of authenticity, for me what’s left are the most remarkable features of his model, including his analysis of mood , ...

Like hell you don’t. At least be honest about it. You may be right , so why the bullshit posturing? He could be everything you say he is . In fact, he...

And it may be partially accurate , although I suspect O’Brien has an axe to grind. You’ll find an inverse correlation between enthusiasm for Heidegger...

This sounds a lot more like Kant than Heidegger (Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind). Understood most primordia...

Heidegger is trying to offer an alternative to causal logics. You can answer our own question by turning it around. How does formal and empirically ca...

Have you read any biographies of Heidegger? It sure doesn’t sound like it from your superficial attacks on him. Even though I’m quite invested in his ...

I don’t think Anthony would agree with the distinction you’re making between the private and the public for Wittgenstein, as witnessed by his discussi...

This is where it gets very tricky, and where Heidegger’s definition of temporality is crucial. When we see something as something, we are, as you say,...

I think I can clarify the role of ‘the nothing’ for Heidegger. In Being and Time he explains that he doesn’t mean it as a complete absence of sense or...

Let’s go over this a little. What does Heidegger say about the propositional form ‘S is P’? He says this is derived from the more general way in which...

Just between you and me, authenticity and death are two foci of analysis in Being and Time that lead to confusion and, as far I’m concerned, can be re...

It could. Or it could try to burrow deeper , and find a way to build self-reflexivity into its terms, so that rather than setting out a formal scheme,...

Only figuratively, afaik

Haven’t you thought about the origins of logic? Wouldnt a primordial theory of Being have to begin with the conditions of possibility for logic rather...

And Adorno, Derrida, Merleau-Ponty, Tillich, Gadamer, Rorty, Wittgenstein, Jonas, Ortega Y Gassett, Barth and Levinas , to name a few.

Heidegger writes a lot about Hegel , indicating his debt to him.

To give Xtrix the benefit of the doubt, I think he is alluding to the fact that Heidegger begins Being and Time by asking the question ‘What is Is-nes...

If one were to label Wittgenstein a pragmatist , I think he is a different kind of pragmatist than Peirce, James or Dewey( for one thing, he moved awa...

There are plenty of philosophers I think this is true of , but not the Heidegger of Being and Time( I feel differently about his later work). I look f...

I appreciate that his ideas are difficult to grasp, but I think the muddle is in your reading rather than in his ideas. He is saying something very di...

That’s a good description of the approach to Being and ‘is-ness’ that Heidegger is critiquing. “…what can be shown to have the character of constantly...

You mean location as in the localization of points in an objective geometry of space-time? Because that’s an idealization that desperately needs to be...

You’ll have to let me know how this differs from Hegel, but when I say that Heidegger derives Being from Becoming , what I mean is that he has to some...

Being and becoming are the same thing for Heidegger. He doesn’t begin with objectively present objects and then set them into motion or transition. He...

Excellent point. Heidegger argues that the copula ‘is’ has been treated since Plato and Aristotle as a neutral connector binding a subject and predica...

I called attention to it because you wrote “I guess it's a matter of which "Being" we're talking about.” I may have misinterpreted you, but I thought ...

As one would expect, the ‘void’ means something different for Heidegger than what normal usage would suggest. It links to his writings on the ‘nothing...

Better yet , from a Heideggerian perspective , asking ‘what is being’ is asking ‘what is the condition of possibility of ‘use’? Whist is it that is st...

Yes, among psychological theorists influenced by phenomenology, there have been attempts to ‘naturalize’ phenomenology. Others in this group believe t...

For Husserl it is not a question of WHETHER there is anything external to intentionality. In one sense there is never anything external to it, and in ...

My favorite philosophers derive mathematics from quantification. Quantification in turn presupposes an enduringly self-identical object. Why? Because ...
