In Logical Investigations (1901) Husserl notices that when we hear a word we are i n the meaning i.e. we are living in the meaning and not in the hear...
In this line Herbert Marcuse's Heideggerian Marxism from the 20's and 30's is interesting reading. Marcuse was more like an active communist than mere...
Dasein has always a certain "sight" (not just a "feel") of itself in its interaction with beings. It can also attain a "Durchsichtigkeit" (transparenc...
This has of course to do with Heidegger's concept of truth and his critique of the traditional conception of truth i.e. that the truth is "situated" i...
"If what the term "idealism" says, amounts to the understanding that Being can never be explained by entities but is already that which is 'transcende...
Xtrix edited away the reference to Kant and temporality? In connection with the "ecstasies" (hasbeen, present, forthcoming) of temporality H. talks ab...
:) Being for Heidegger (Of Being and Time) is the meaningful presence of something. Ontical aspect here is that there is something concretely, there i...
0. "Lehre" vs. "Doktrine" (Transzendentale Elementar l e h r e in German). Both are translated as doctrine. "Lehre" can also mean something like "teac...
Derrida's interest in Freud has not been mentioned yet. I found this when googled Derrida + Freud: "There is no way to overlook the complicity between...
Good description of Care from Joshs and good points from Xtrix. Citation from B&T from Section VI (Care as the Being of Dasein) subchapter 41. "Dasein...
Husserl actually began in vol. 1 of Logical Investigations as a "realist" or even as an "objectivist". Namely as an "ideal-realist" (not as a physical...
Yes, but I think Husserl wouldn't have used terms like "refer" or "world" here. We don't have any knowledge how these, what appear for us like "signal...
The "purely" material aspect of the experience is without intentionality. When you perceive a table, all the stimulus entering your eye is without int...
In that paragraph Heidegger doesn't use the verb "destroy" but noun "Destruktion". Stambaugh translates this correctly "destructuring". Somewhere else...
For Heidegger essence/existence is an historical distinction which has to be "destructed". Destruction means the critical presentation of the historic...
Commenting Heidegger's "verbal games" (p. 42): In the traditional metaphysics there is an important basic distinction between essence (what) and exist...
"2. That Being which is an issue for this entity in its very Being, is in each case mine. Thus Dasein is never to be taken ontologically as an instanc...
This is a well known fact. Heidegger's short "explanation" or "self criticism" of his interpretation can be found in a preface to second edition of hi...
Interesting passage from the "Being-There and Being-True According to Aristotle (Interpretations of Nicomachean Ethics, Book VI)" (1924). "The aim of ...
I don't think Sorge/care/concern is an entirely formal term (even though it is meant to describe a "pure" category which conditions any concrete exper...
There is reflection and thinking involved in everyday activity. Heidegger calls it sight (Sicht). This (more general) sight guides circumspection (Ums...
Heidegger's point is that the birth of modern science or Galileo had a certain "project" (design, Entwurf) on the basis of which world was disclosed i...
This is a good point. I should have been more careful. According to B&T we a r e care or concern. That is, we a r e our significative relations (prima...
Heidegger's relation to Aristotle's form/matter -distinction and Hegelian dialectics are obviously very difficult subjects. But these themes as contra...
Rough sketches: -- "Being" has been Heidegger's main concern right from the beginning. From this one could ask, that is Heidegger interested merely in...
If he would suppose that they are g i v e n us ordered that would be "objectivism"? Kant wants to formulate a new concept of subject. He subjectivizes...
They probably translate the verb anschauen (or Anschauung as noun), that is, "intuiting" in the context of "real" sensual-empirical cognition here and...
Few remarks (I am not a native speaker of English or German, however, I read Kant in German): The translation of intuition (Anschauung) can be very de...
Would Kant think that invisibility is the concept of visibility with zero intensity? The succession of the sensations of visibility is (has attained, ...
What was meant was that Kant exemplifies the philosopher who tries to think the scientificity. That doesn't mean that science is transformed into an e...
This quotation serves as a good opportunity to try to contrast Kant against Locke (which implies how differently they view the subject/object relation...
No wonder that Heidegger is interested in Kant and regards him highly important if one reads the following (in the chapter on noumena and phenomena th...
"The division of objects into phaenomena and noumena, and of the world into a world of sense and a world of understanding, can therefore not be permit...
In that chapter on noumenon Kant once refers* to categories as noumena. Categories are the only legitimate noumena? Categories as problematic or possi...
These (protention, retention) are actually fairly "ungerman" terms derived from the Latin. Compare with Heidegger's temporal terms like Gewesenheit, Z...
Berkeley's idealism is "representational", subjectivist, empiricist, epistemological, whereas Hegel's idealism is more like ontological realism. For H...
Activity "mowing the law" has certain form or grammar which gives it certain limits within which it is understandable as "mowing the law". So, in this...
Chimpanzees don't have "being-with" (which makes the activity or behavior to discourse, i think). So, other chimpanzees moving around the chimpanzee t...
This is precisely the problem here, it could be the problem of "fallenness". To be as close or adequate as possible to the matter or case itself. What...
I think that for Heidegger ready-to-hand (worldhood) is l i f e, it is the Being of life. It is the basic or fundamental reality. It is like sense dat...
(I think that) Being is for H. actuality in different possible "historical" situations and contexts. It is what is actual, real or "there" (present) i...
What the "modification" does mean here? I put the "over" inside the scare quotes to allude that "authenticity", what ever it is, is not leaving, it ca...
This is very true. There is something "formal" or a formal aspect in these terms which means that they transcend all actual "empirical" facticities. T...
Thank you for the profound criticism. I can comment it followingly: I came to this view about the innerworldy being while I was recently reading H's e...
I must disagree here i.e. I would interpret this differently because I think that Heideger is here only "reasoning" (through his phenomenological desc...
I initially thought that the "inner" (innerweltliches Seiende) means cartesian space but it seems that these beings within-the-world or innerworldly b...
Heidegger is differentiating between various kinds of Beings here: existence-being, living-being and finally non-living, non-having-existence-being. B...
