If you're making it a political party association, why are you 1) ignoring Bush Admin and 2) ignoring Trump qua political party Dem/opportunist? I als...

I was thinking of this as well - along with the many images shared on social media by supporters of Trump atop a tank in a cartoonish fashion, things ...

Is this referring to passages in Kant?
September 08, 2020 at 16:28
I noticed this too. Also - the addition of "evil" was odd...

Starting Derrida, Voice and Phenomenon and noticed an old reading group thread for the same here so will check that out. Also noticed there is a pdf v...

A divisive media I can agree with. Balls and wisdom - unappreciated but for those with eyes to see if not for the former - seems a bit of a reach.

I share this view as far as the Republican-Democratic frontrunners go. Interestingly, I just recently came across an "Articles of Unity 2020" push for...

A hostile media by no means absolves Trump either. And while it being dubious to blame one man "for omnipotent power" is in a general way a fair point...

It looks like it's easier to prove the opposite of what than what? Was this a reply to Gus? This strikes me as a fast and loose, albeit formulated ost...

Spinoza appears to offer one supposing God is substance and: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/3800/3800-h/3800-h.htm But this would appear to be a pant...

This was the first and only time I ever saw anything of Peterson. He basically stated right from the get go he hadn't even read Marx apart from crammi...

I would say I shared this concern, but have been under the understanding that there were indications Miller, and others, likely Bannon, had exacerbate...
August 26, 2020 at 19:47
My understanding was that in the case of Miller, we have someone more than externally endorsing someone but present within Trump's circle. So in this ...
August 26, 2020 at 16:58
So in your view, Spencer is a valid indicator of racism in Biden's base but Stephen Miller is not an indicator of racism in Trump's? Do you not view '...
August 26, 2020 at 16:06
Do you not view racism as a factor in Trump's base?
August 26, 2020 at 07:29
So the first section says very little specifically until a little over halfway down - vague appeals to bailouts and/or stimulus packages - followed by...
August 25, 2020 at 21:52
I'm looking for these now. Curious - where did you read them (or anyone else here)? Biden's site, a newsletter, Wikipedia, etc?
August 25, 2020 at 20:53
This is the first reference to such a concern I've seen... I've wondered how "lesser evil efficacy" would measure against "evil gridlock." I don't hav...

Nietzsche's "On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense" and "On the Use and Abuse of History for Life" can be found online to read if they are not already...

I view his neologisms as his attempt to speak about something "so far as we can speak of it at all" in an effort to have his "form in congruence with ...

This last does not seem to me to bear on the foregoing in any direction. In particular, I am not understanding how H's distinguishing between Dasein "...

Thanks for this.
July 19, 2020 at 11:08
Thanks for the source/correction.
July 19, 2020 at 08:45
I see no difference - just can't recall the exact wording of the quote/note.
July 18, 2020 at 15:48
Difference between what? I don't see anything wrong with it either. From what I've read of Sartre, I'll agree on the digestion as well.
July 18, 2020 at 07:28
I seem to recall a note in BT in which he says Sartre misunderstood him in "existentia precedes essentia" or "existence precedes essence" but that suc...
July 17, 2020 at 21:30
Is this to say that he said to 'be is to exist' and then later said 'be is not to exist' or later said 'I never said that to be is to exist?' In eithe...

For the most part, these concerns seem to me to be addressed in BT.

"Why, how, did he think the Nazi part was a good idea?" In some of his comments, Heidegger seems to me to have thought of Hitler along the lines of He...

"Very poetic and very unphilosophical, I'd say." I'm not familiar with that particular passage, but in some of H's later stuff, he seems to me to be a...

"Heidegger never made something similar to a definition of the Being and even recognized that the Being is an indefinable concept." I don't have the t...
June 25, 2020 at 16:20
I just thought I'd throw out there that as I recall, there is a footnote to the Stambaugh translation of BT in which Heidegger 'approves' of Nietzsche...
June 22, 2020 at 19:19
Good points. In Heidegger's case, however, I just get the sense that yes, style matters so much so that for Heidegger's thought and project in Being a...
