I know something.
October 22, 2017 at 09:43
On a side note, I actually think this is not true, particularly if we take an existential approach where Sartre will say that all we need is the coura...

I don't want to breathe, but I would really like a sandwich. I'm smart.

If you think you have articulated yourself well enough with the above statement, then all the best bouncing off clouds with Tori Amos.

I know, I saw your sexy pegs in your condescension of my yoga moves, but there are other reference points to work on; I find at our age, it is not ach...

If you want people to understand what you are attempting to convey, then don't say things like depending solely on your own understanding and capacity...

That is a condition we can never escape, hence why I said death is, to a degree, a type of consciousness enabling us to distrust. As Dasein exists in ...

You cannot attain wisdom without knowledge; wisdom is, to a degree, what Aquinas said: love takes up where knowledge leaves off. So, your algorithm he...

He has that effect. This thread exposed something that is wrong within me. I just finished an application for an international post in human rights wo...

Wisdom is what I have been searching for all my life, whether within me or an example in another, so are you saying that this search is in vain?
October 21, 2017 at 02:28
That doesn't make sense. Knowledge without wisdom is sorrow, with wisdom, we recognise the sorrow is vanity, because knowledge is vanity, because wisd...

No, not working for me. What makes you trust your own eyes?

I am still having a hard time with this but I am starting to see what I could not see last night. My problem of this individualisation that emerges fr...

Charming. Unfortunately, you're not actually being funny, but that is the problem with people who have no sense of humour. For the sake of brevity, th...

Thanks, so as I said about authenticity and temporality, which is why Carmen' position inevitably destroys the possibilities that follow.
October 20, 2017 at 11:30
Oh sorry, that's what Derrida said. But of course, you know better.
October 20, 2017 at 11:23
On another angle, though, there is this unavoidable humanism left in Dasein, this 'essence' despite what Heidegger imagines. What is left is 'man' or ...
October 20, 2017 at 11:19
I get what you are saying, but this is the dilemma that people face, the unique position we are in and this collision enables us to respond or react, ...
October 20, 2017 at 11:13
I think the only thing appaling at this point is the assumption that you know what Heidegger would be feeling. Anthropocentrism? Are you saying that H...
October 20, 2017 at 11:05
It was meant to be nothing but a statement of fact. Ok, kind of sounds interesting but you do need to actually hone in on Carmen, methinks.
October 20, 2017 at 11:04
Because, to them, philosophy is really just a priori, there is no idealistic solution to make everyone all cheerful again.

Heidegger. :-|
October 20, 2017 at 10:48
What are you on about?
October 20, 2017 at 10:41
The concept of death or inexistence is closely linked to his views on authenticity and self-awareness; we are capable of knowledge, the conscious expe...
