thanks. great lecture. I agree that Cassirer doesn't get his starting point clear. In Ch.2 of vol. 3 of his Symbolic Formshe veres between Heidegger's Dasein and the surely better Intersubjectivity (and an interweaving of totality and 'function'): the ground is not mere "chaos" (67) but a "'concrete' unity" of perception and myth (68),and on 69: he talks of the "ground soil ... not originally experienced as a totality ... 'being' as it is apprehended in perception .. not as a being of things, of mere objects, but as the mode of existence of living subjects ... How ... it's possible is a difficult metaphysical and epistemological question" but still "The further back we trace perception, the form of the 'you' possesses a priority over the form of the 'it'".
Past midnight & just clicked on this ... I assume the Scot speaking is the symbolic form of Ernst Cassirer. Nice to to see him mentioned, tho. Many thanks.
@@Philosophy_Overdose Thanks. I never heard a recording of Cassirer's voice, but I love reading him. There must be recordings somewhere, in English as well as German
The speaker is Michael Inwood, for anybody interested.
Excellent lecture - very engaging and informative

Brilliant lecture and of cause silly to think its Cassirer...no Hamburgian accent...but who did it????
Whose lecture is this?
@@tunneling-nanotubes yeah but it's not Cassirer speaking.
So he's speaking about himself in the third person? Cute! )
It's Michael Inwood.

@@Philosophy_Overdose You should edit the description to mention him then!
