What Heidegger did for Philosophy is akin to what the founders of Quantum Mechanics did for Physics; a redefinition of the ground of Being. Thank you for the readings.
thanks prof. Millerman, it was a real worthwhile introduction; not only for the English speaking students, but hopefuly so, for all german speaking and broader public... in order to fall in love or just to familiarized with Heideggerian school of tought, presented as a real "basic concept" and refreshment here, in our troubled worlds!
Wow, fantastic! Heidegger said the essence of this Grund/Ground embraces itself into us. This is “initiation“ as the ancients would call it. This is an empowerment experience that all sacred wisdom traditions had at their core. Often, since Christianity has taken over has this been denied to us. But Heidegger, and now many others are reviving this “bedrock in the mountains of human history“. Let us all seek with all we got this “remembrance”.
Serendipitous timing on this as I just happened to be reading the Heidegger chapter in Strauss & Cropsey's History of Political Philosophy the other day. Thanks for posting.

Out of all the German language intellectuals I’ve tried to read: Jung; Heidegger; Jung; Kant; Hegel; Freud; Nietzsche, I’ve found Freud the easiest to read. Heidegger’s writing in Being and Time reminds me of Buddhism, did not finish that book though. So this lecture will be good for me.
It is about an awareness when moving yourself through layers and recognition of the Truth when it looks you in the face - in a way, it doesn't matter 'what' Heidegger is in propositional, pigeon-holing terms, it is where he takes us, where he took himself. I'd suggest that bracketing and naming of objects is not the path here.
@@paulocorrea521 True. I’ve studied Evola, Guenon and Buddhism. And I find they’re have compatibility with Heidegger thought. I’m reading Richard Polt’s intro to Heidegger now, and summarising all the chapters and subchapters
I just discovered your channel and kept hearing Heideggers name in your Dugin videos so I figured this is a good place to start. I’m relatively familiar with Nietzsche and resonate with his work, but felt like he was missing the transcendent. I’m now discovering traditionalism and perennialism and it’s great.
You should do a series on Ratzinger’s Introduction to Christianity, he cites Heidegger’s distinction of calculating vs reflective thinking and seems to take a similarly post-modern approach to Biblical studies Edit: also, have you ever looked into Meister Eckhart’s use of the word Gründ in his sermons? Seems like Heidegger’s concept might be indebted in some way to him
Thanks for that Michael , I am new to all this and it feels perfect for me right now. In fact it has me wondering what were the Irish before they were taken over by the English , I mean what was the wisdom or understandings of life or living say two thousand years ago . Anyway this was very interesting thank you.
successful politics (the selling of ideologies) succeed by tapping into an priori environment of needs and wants and capitalizing on them. it only takes an “eclipse of reason” to buy in and you have to be solidly grounded and i think philosophically oriented to stay sober.
I wonder if Martin knew that the foundation of Greek culture-their “grund”, was the mystery schools. These mysteries such as Eleusis were purposely secret-not much spoken of. But they were held in high esteem and experienced by Plato and most of all citizens of Athens. As well as many cultures of the time and most likely reaching back deep into antiquity.
Seems like he is engaged in another German attempt to purify, it seems a lot like Christianity, divested of even more ornaments, dogmas and superstitions than Luther tried and it is beautiful as is this presentation. I am inspired to read Basic Concepts.
Just as a piece of advice, for what you do is very important to build upon the right direction of society: Your communication is good: nice voice tone and explanation of the concepts. But if you want to get the audience more connected you should stop this interruptions that you do while reading, whether they are to enhance ideas or make your own comments. Separate more the studied content from the interpretation of it; therefore I as a listener would like to experience Heidegger word by word without any interruption, take my own conclusions, and then see if they are well oriented with what the author is trying to express once I listen to your interpretation. Good job tho. Thanks
Are we talking about an attraction beyond familiarity and not grounded in our own needs? How does the origin call the thought forward without attracting it?
Strauss' project can be described as a "salvaging" of the Greeks (Plato and Aristotle) as they understood themselves. Does not Heidegger say (perhaps about Strauss, whom I think he followed) that such a "salvaging" (retrieval) is superficial? I thought I heard that in the text you were reading from. It appeared to be referring to Leo Stauss' approach. If so, Heidegger was familiar with Strauss and felt he stopped quite short of this true "restoration" of the Greeks, i.e., not via Plato and Aristotle, but rather per Parmenides and Heracleitus. (See p. 93 of "The Question of Being," trans. Wilde and Kluback. Here Heidegger, giving a talk shortly after the publication of Stauss' "Natural Right and History," seems to be alluding to Strauss, who is said to be critical of "radical historicism" in "Natural Right and History." I had been taught that "radical historicism" meant Heidegger's "moral relativism." In any event, even while reading Strauss in the seventies, I felt that he misunderstood Heidegger's "destruction" of "metaphysics."
I thoughtbthe title said “ Ancient Greece is our future”. Then you talk about German philosophers. I lived in Greece for 8 years. Greece and Germany are almodt different countries or more exactly could not be more different.
Thomas Jefferson's life is a direct contradiction to his stated philosophy; I find that problematic and inexcusable. Heidegger's life also contradicted his stated philosophy and is equally inexcusable. Perhaps the real philosophies of both are in their writings defending the indefensible.
Yes, Jefferson had slaves, and Heidegger had Nazi leanings. But it’s very difficult to judge things out of their historical context. We may also be judged harshly in the future on many of the things we do and participate in. Both these men were towering figures of positive ideas that influenced our world in ways that make life better today.

Thank you for the readings.
Not only do I greatly appreciate Michael's thought, but I have become quite fond of him as a person...

Fascinating!

Your “let’s keep going” is a simple and charming trope in the talk. Good stuff
"This is going to be interesting...OK?"
And so it is.
My hat is off, sir.
I wish I had paid you all the money I wasted on college tuition.
Thanks professor, this was a real treat.
This series is absolutely fantastic! Love to see more like this with his lecture courses. Maybe the basic questions: Selected Problems of Logic.

Its pantheism. I've found a lot of Guenon and Evola to be highly compatible with Heidegger.

Heidegger’s GrundBegriffe is his attempt at what Aristotle did with the Categories.
Thomas Jefferson's life is a direct contradiction to his stated philosophy; I find that problematic and inexcusable. Heidegger's life also contradicted his stated philosophy and is equally inexcusable. Perhaps the real philosophies of both are in their writings defending the indefensible.
What did Heidegger do? Jeez, the guy wasn't a hypocrite
@@curiositycloset2359 1. He was an active member of the Nazi Party until 1945. 2. Sexual misbehavior with his female graduate students.
