Let me also say this is a lucid, profound reading. These kinds of posts reaffirm my intellectual indebtedness to the commons of online video!

This is such a beautiful and meaningful lecture. It brought tears to my eyes. I've made an effort to understand philosophy, precisely so I can appreciate these sorts of moments.

I’ve been reading Heidegger and waiting for this to click to me, and this video brought everything together for me to where I finally understand! Thank you! Your commitment to the Greek, German, and English language and bringing them together in an ensemble - shall we say :) - was super enlightening! Thanks again.

A wonderful luminous lecture. I kept thinking of the Zen poets, who seem to reveal being itself in nature with particular purity...

great description of the language of Habel - very inspiring and gives a clear, gentle picture of how things appear when given the ability/space/chance to arise and be with us

I didn't know that the guy from the Nespresso Commercial knew so much about the history of philosophy.

You can't get Greek experience everywhere, and when you do it's gonna cost ya.

The earliest 'beings' were the immortals & Heidegger was low filth & despised by them.
