Well, first I did not mean to say that one cannot read or discover similarly radical things from other writers or philosophers. Second, I am not sure ...
What I find radical is our a priori openness to the world, the fact that we swim in meaning, that the disclosure of the ways we already-alway find our...
I don't understand your analysis of modes and why it matters. Yes, readiness-to-hand names the Being of certain kinds of entities (tools, etc.). I wou...
So what's your overall point? What are you trying to say about Das Man? That Das Man pertains to our encounters with people but not that of 'things', ...
Sure. Ready-to-hand and present-at-hand are entities-in-the-world. Das Man is that in terms of which the ready-to-hand and present-at-hand, as encount...
Let us not forget that, from Heidegger's perspective, to be a human being is to already be entangled in worldly situations. It is our condemnation yet...
Das Man pertains to all of Dasein's encounters and situations. 'What one does', 'who one is', 'how one acts', 'what things are for one', etc. prescrib...
I wish I had the answers but I think my grasp of authenticity is much weaker than that of inauthenticity. Partially because the language of Division T...
Das Man names the ascription of oneself to the possibilites of the Anyone in the fleeing of anxiety. Through this ascription - this self-understanding...
I understand that you are criticizing Heidegger's transcendentalism. I get that. By writing what I wrote there, I did not mean to say that your critiq...
As for you Heiko, In Being and Time, Heidegger says "Dasein in itself is essentially Being-with." "Being-with is an existential characteristic of Dase...
I think the solipsist could say that 1) is actually a misrepresentation on your part. I think they could say that your critique of 1), ultimately, mis...
fdrake, Interesting post. Let me see if I understand you. So, there are (at least) three potential ways to accuse Heidegger of being a solipsist. The ...
Heidegger mentions Humboldt in §34, the section on Discourse. There, Heidegger contrasts his understanding of language to Humboldt's. I think I found ...
Turn the question around to what? What sentence, and what is it about? In Being-towards-death, Dasein is brought back from its lostness in 'the-they' ...
Could you expand on this point a bit? To me, it seems that the desert-island example is an example where both there are ontically no other factically ...
For Heidegger, to infer the existence others from one's own experience is misinterpret what it is to be a human-being. Dasein is fundamentally not a '...
Heiko, In regards to precisely what condition do you think Dasein simply is not possible? Do you mean to say that you do not think that Being-with is ...
Heiko, I respectfully disagree. The desert island is an example of a possible context in which Dasein could find itself, and as such, one that Dasein ...
dukkha, I sympathize with your way of construing the problem of Being-with in Heidegger's Early Philosophy. As many commentators in this forum believe...
