There are many reasons one should be careful in "assigning" anything by Heidegger with his horrid political views and questionable ethics foremost amo...

You might have better luck if you looked to political commentators/philosophers rather than politicians. I recommend Thomas Hobbes.

Well said. Of all the words you choose, I suspect "derivative" is the most accurate. However, it is important to keep in mind that Heidegger never giv...

later Wittgenstein does say that the world is everything. I also think Heidegger's and Wittgenstein's notion of "background" and its importance are si...

Thank you for proving my point. Your credibility regarding your position rests upon having read and understood Heidegger. Keep up the good work.

So you are taking it upon yourself to have deleted everything everyone else has to say? How philosophical.

Heidegger was not a good person for several reasons, with his Nazism foremost among them. However, I have no desire to either prosecute or defend his ...

William Blattner's guide to Being and Time.

I think Heidegger's "being-in-the-world" as a unitary mode of being is revolutionary.

why do you presume there is an outside?

Without consciousness matter doesn’t have a home. No consciousness of which to be an object. I’m doubtful matter is enough by itself. How can non-exte...

it enables some to feel more secure.

You are flailing in the wind. You cannot possibly extract anything from Heidegger's work if you do not read it. And even if you do read it, you cannot...

That is incorrect. Inauthentic, undifferentiated, and authentic are temporal modes of Dasein's being that have no application to entities other than D...

If you want to prosecute Heidegger, I certainly will make no objection. He was not a good person for many reasons with his Nazism being foremost among...

If wayfarer wants to throw out words such as "objectification" and fail to clarify that he is using it as a synonym for the "scientific method", then ...

Anger no. Blame yes.

You can't.

That depends.

Far more than anyone else.

I find no pleasure in that.

In some sense, "objectification" is the end of philosophy. It serves no meaningful purpose.

Authentic Dasein does not feel at home in the world. The older I get, the more comfortable I am not feeling at home in the world.

Time is one method that non-spatial entities could be differentiated. I never said it was the only method nor did I say it was a perfect method. I sus...

I absolutely do not concede that. I suspect that if Heidegger had continued with the work, the next publication would not have been called Being and T...

I agree. I am not a Heidegger disciple. It would matter not to me if Heidegger unequivocally renounced Being and Time. I would still read at least 10 ...

Undergrads by the thousands are unable to tell you that the primary goal of the only 2 divisions of which Being and Time is comprised are about the fu...

I am right and you are wrong and I can live with that. :smile:

We are clearly not going to agree. I find The History of the Concept of Time (pre) and The Problems of Phenomenology (post) to be useful in understand...

And even if you want to stand on that, people who wish to understand Being and Time should still be aware that what is labeled as an introduction is c...

Seriously? He needed to provide a name for the completed parts so they could be published (the publish or die of academia.). He named the 2 completed ...

This does not surprise me. Heidegger was raised Catholic, converted to Protestantism, and in his old age began to sound quite pantheistic.

I was not quoting Heidegger. I was stating my favorite mantra. And that is a crucial difference. And I am teasing you and I stand corrected. Though ch...

1. Being and Time is complete. The 6 part project of which Being and Time is just 2 parts is incomplete. 2. At no point did I suggest that there is no...

Thus Spake 180 Proof :smile:

Insofar as an entity must have mass, then mass is a property of that entity. Insofar as an entity must change, then change is a necessary property of ...

Numerals are symbols and as such they are especially useful when that for which they stand has no spatial existence. If you would have spent a tad mor...

"If we accept for the sake of discussion" is used in place of "if". And I use it because I am tired of having to point out that "if" indicates that I ...

I have never heard anyone say Heidegger is easy. And it is definitely hard to determine what his primary goal is. And that is the primary purpose of t...

That is good stuff. It would be great to have a citation if it is easily available. I am not asking you to go and track it down. But I like it.

Hebert Dreyfus essentially called Being and Nothingness a masterful misinterpretation of another philosopher (Heidegger).

If we accept for the sake of discussion that some entities have necessary properties, then an entity with necessary properties cannot exist in the abs...

An entity having necessary properties cannot exist independent of its necessary properties and properties have no existence independent of that of whi...

Because my answer was to the simple and general question of how to differentiate entities not in space. . Someone other than I postulated a mortgage a...

I am confident that I have never seen the activity in my brain. I see no synapses firing or anything of that nature. Way too ghost in the machine like...

I find disturbing the notion that some things are more real than others. The thought that reality and objective reality are distinct has a nonsensical...
