The Fallenness of Dasein - Idle talk, Curiosity, Ambiguity | Heidegger - Being and Time

Welcome to 'Back to the Texts Themselves,' a series on phenomenology. Today I examine Chapter 5, sections 35 to 38 of Martin Heidegger's Being & Time.
In this video, I address the following questions:
1) What is fallenness?
2) What are the three features of fallenness?
3) How is the motion of fallenness characterized?

I really have to say that after watching all the previous videos and feeling confused by all those big words, this opening scene shocks me and wakes me up!

[@GQBouncer]

Thanks for these videos. I appreciate you explaining Heidegger's theory in a practical sense

[@SingularityasSublimity]

Thank you Travis! I’m to hear they’ve been helpful.

[@julesjgreig]

Learning more from your presentation again, thank-you. I appreciate your transparency of tackling the subject on its face and showing your *own* thinking through the meanings. Thanks again.

[@SingularityasSublimity]

You're very welcome!

i DEFINITELY fell into the pattern of behaviour you describe at 9:30, although i like to think i’m a little older and more cautious now. i feel like your channel really succeeds in its aim at now only exemplifying an alternative attitude, but showing how much richness it can yield and how achievable it actually is

[@OH-pc5jx]

(which is not to say they don’t evidence years and years of work. but i feel like if i’d seen this series when i was younger, i could pick up B&T and follow it carefully and richly much more comfortably for having watched it)

[@SingularityasSublimity]

Thank you for encouraging words! It is exactly my hope that these videos offer guidance for that level of study.

[@julesjgreig]

Great summary, thank you.

[@user-sr2mx5ui9y]

This is one of the most profound and dead on chapters in B&T

[@SingularityasSublimity]

It is striking how apt of a description it seems to be. I certainly resonate with it. Though it is an aspect of Heidegger’s thinking that perhaps has received the most criticism, not so much for the descriptions themselves but for the way fallenness functions more generally in Heidegger’s thought.
