There are no pure emotions. Emotions are not isolated processes, separate from the rest of mental activity. Their dynamics are intertwined with those ...

All right. Emotions are evolutionarily beneficial. They provide some mechanisms for survival and adaptation to the environment. But they can also be h...

And this? I put this quotation some days ago. You have a poor memory. (Underlining is mine). To lead irremediably and directly to error means to be wr...
October 04, 2020 at 06:53
By the way: How do you deal with this "error"?
October 03, 2020 at 10:10
"More" phenomenological? Is Aristotle phenomenology? Heidegger explicitly says that the ordinary interpretation of time derived from Aristotle does no...

What is left out is the level of ontology, Being, the understanding of Dasein's main constituents: temporality, care, anticipatory resolution, history...

Some more than others.
October 01, 2020 at 08:29
You're right: I don't know what you're talking about. Not Heidegger, of course. "There is no worse blind person than the one who does not want to see"...
October 01, 2020 at 06:11
As you will understand if Heidegger's entire defense consists of his brilliance, according to Xtrix, the thing does not impress too much. Would you ha...

Some quotes from Being and Time. As you can see, there is a " right" explanation of time. What is the wrong one? Here it is clear, that which starts f...
September 30, 2020 at 15:26
Nor have I seen any words from Heidegger about the influence of cultural background on phenomenal perception. You have spent many years reading Heideg...

It is assumed that children have no use of reason. The age of reason, you know. What poses a sharp problem: In what age begins the age of reason? Ever...
September 27, 2020 at 09:05
I'm sorry I'm late, but I can think of something that could unlock the debate. The first thing to do in the face of a morally complex case is to make ...

Your concept of consciousness is too strange and not very useful. Psychology usually only includes thoughts and experiences that are explicit to the s...
September 27, 2020 at 05:57
You turn the discussion upside down so much that one ends up not knowing what one is talking about. First of all, in contemporary psychology and philo...

Heidegger rejects as inauthentic the Aristotelian concept of time and what he considers its derivation in the vision of time lived by common sense. It...

The exaltation of selfishness is in sight. It is called "neoliberalism". Consequence: the destruction of the social bonds that allow to resist the fac...
September 22, 2020 at 08:59
In my opinion, Heidegger does not pretend that time forms an undifferentiated unit. The three ecstasies cannot be con-fused. What he affirms is their ...
September 21, 2020 at 08:39
"In describing something, there is thinking and concepts involved. To argue this is "theory" is misleading. It is simply a common way of understanding...
September 20, 2020 at 07:27
Note: I mean with theory a system of ideas intended to explain something. Heidegger's work is a complex and confusing theory about being, time and the...
September 19, 2020 at 08:36
"What you claim is "perception," isn't." "No one is proposing a theory, certainly not a "subjective" theory." Heidegger: B&T: " The future is not late...

Words, words, words.

"Reading Heidegger is not easy. I've found I've had to read several books, several times. Best to avoid secondary sources at first and make sense of i...

"And why is that important?" Of course, it is! I'm talking to my father about my mother. My father is here. My mother is not here. She is dead. I wish...
September 15, 2020 at 08:48
" If you're arguing that "subjective" time is a sequence of nows, of a future being not-here-yet and a past being no-longer-here, etc., then what you'...
September 15, 2020 at 07:23
"...future does not mean a now that has not yet come, but a coming in which Dasein comes toward itself in its ownmost potentiality -of-being. " This i...
September 14, 2020 at 08:30
It is very simple. "His valid reasons for "changing" the common usage of the word "time" is partially based on this new analysis, and partially based ...
September 13, 2020 at 09:20
Paragraph 314? Being and Time has 83 epigraphs. What do you mean?
September 12, 2020 at 09:06
"I've gone over this several times as well." My memory is bad and I don't remember you doing what you say. Can you repeat any of those valid reasons? ...
September 12, 2020 at 08:48
If you don't quote any valid reason you are blocking the discussion. "So you stick with Aristotle" I do not adhere to anyone. I am affirming the commo...
September 11, 2020 at 09:07
Gregory: "I don't think you appreciate philosophy are it's deepest levels" Wells are not good for philosophy.
September 10, 2020 at 16:24
Is this Heidegger or St. Teresa of Jesus levitating?
September 10, 2020 at 05:22
Tell Heidegger. I found a dozen references to authentic or inauthentic temporality in 10''. Advantages of computer science.
September 10, 2020 at 04:57
He does not destroy anything. He changes the common sense of a word without giving a valid reason. When he speaks of temporality he is speaking of som...
September 10, 2020 at 04:35
An absolute skeptic would think this conversation be absurd. I'm not talking. I have no absolute proof that you, my computer, the chair, etc. exist. T...
September 09, 2020 at 13:01
There is not a single branch of knowledge, except the formal sciences, that seeks absolute knowledge. Each of these branches has its criteria to disti...
September 09, 2020 at 09:04
I suggest that you read the context of the texts I have provided. In any case, in the two texts I have provided, temporality is impied by means of fut...
September 09, 2020 at 08:46
This is only true if you are talking about absolute knowledge. If you low the bar, you should consider the reasons I have already given in the previou...
September 09, 2020 at 06:38
Absolute certainty, no. I believe that all people have the powerful natural intuition that the things we perceive correspond to something real. Scienc...

How do you know that the screen of a TV is not the screen of a photo camera? Answer: because they work differently. The question: How do we know that ...
September 08, 2020 at 14:25
Sorry, you know the real world is not a dream because it doesn't have the characteristics of a dream. In a dream you walk on a street in a different w...
September 08, 2020 at 08:20
Sorry, what logic?
September 08, 2020 at 05:13
There is no absolute reason to choose the real world instead the dream world. All the reasons I have suggested here are reasonable and common sense, b...
September 08, 2020 at 05:07
I think so too. Dreams are on the edge of consciousness. That is why they can be directly caused by an external event. A loud noise can make us dream ...
September 08, 2020 at 04:59
Ley us see: Two things are clear here: There is an authentic and an inauthentic temporality and both are based on "futural”. But what temporality mean...
September 08, 2020 at 04:25
If you are a materialist you will say that everything that happens is part of matter and that dreams are nothing but brain activity. Okay. But what dr...
September 07, 2020 at 14:50
I'm sorry to have caused you such a commotion. But I am open to discussing any means of knowing things in themselves that you wish to propose.
September 07, 2020 at 14:05
Hey, what language do you speak? I'm just saying that because of the accent. I hadn't thought of comparing Hegel to a potato chip, but sometimes Heide...

What does "projection" mean?
September 07, 2020 at 09:40
What is pure perception? An intellectual vision, since it is pure. But there is nothing in Parmenides that suggests contemplation in the sense of intu...
