[CORRECTIONS AND NOTES]
I thank the user @TheMultiBaby for telling me that what Han said in 4:18 was in fact "Selbstüberschreitung", not "Selbstüberschätzung" as I had translated it in the video. This makes more sense because Selbstüberschreitung means "a going beyond, or exceeding of the self that is made possible through Eros, through eroticism".
MORE CORRECTIONS: Thanks to user @martinb3483 for graciously pointing out that:
0:27 "...dem Leben zu dienen" -> "...to serve life"
Instead of "...to begin living." (my initial translation).
3:13 "...verlernen wir möglicherweise, den anderen zu streicheln" -> "...we possibly unlearn to caress the Other."
Instead of "we might possibly forget to enhance it in others."
[Original Description]
I tried my best to translate and capture Han's poetic style into English but it's not perfect as my German is still poor. If you guys speak German please don't hesitate to comment which parts seems unfit or inaccurate, I'll add the corrections in the description and give you credit. I struggled with how to translate Verausgabung in 4:11 so it'd be nice if you guys suggested a better translation.
Discussions and thoughts are much appreciated!
Hey Kenny, thank you for your translation! There's just one little thing I wanted to add: I don't think he says "Selbstüberschätzung" - I think he says "Selbstüberschreitung", so a going beyond or an exceeding of the self that is made possible through Eros, through eroticism :)
@@TheMultibaby Hey man, I think that makes more sense now so thanks for your suggestion! I'll update the subtitles and give you credit for the correction. Big thanks! ;))
Hat Byung Chul Han eine E-Mail-Adresse?
Thanks for your striving to correctness. Appreciated !
0:27 "...dem Leben zu dienen" -> "to serve life".
3:13 "...verlernen wir möglicherweise, den anderen zu streicheln" -> "we possibly unlearn to caress the other"
(disclaimer: my English is not perfect) ;-)
A really interesting and readable philosopher, thanks for this!
This is something of a kind you only come across seldom. An eye opener. It popped up after I saw a vid on 'the burnout society'. Definetely going to delve deeper into this, as I'm sensing and despising the shackles of what's called 'modernization' (with that aweful 'handy' ball upfront) more and more.
This ideology is quite misleading. Leftists keep blaming neoliberalism for all the evils of the world notwithstanding that very few countries are neoliberal. Tax rates in Germany, South Korea, France, the UK, Japan, and so many countries are way too high, so high that blaming neoliberalism makes no sense. By taking half of your income, government deprives you of so much freedom because taxation drastically reduces the range of options you could otherwise afford.
I'm sure Byung Chul Han has heard of North Korea, where population is starved and stumped on by its communist dictator. Is this left-wing philosopher also going to blame neoliberalism for what's going on there?
I just started reading ‘Burnout Society’. The ending line about solution vs salvation really hit me.
Me too!
he is a Catholic after all@@Barushia
Gracias por subtitular al inglés!!
He is one of a Kind. Gracias por resubir éste material.
Indeed and you're welcome! :)
I think he really gets at whats going on in modernity...thank you for this interview
Thks for the translation.
welcome!
Oh man. I was really hoping he was going to at least hint at the meaning behind 'Salvation'
Palliativgesellschaft von ihm und sein Essay zu Corona auch sehr empfehlenswert.
Terima kasih atas terjemahannya. Sulit untuk menemukan interview Byung Chul Han dengan subtitle
Saya sangat setuju kak, dan sama-sama ;))
@@kennyselamatan kirain org luar :)))
@@iamleoooo hahaa, soalnya kamu juga comment di bahasa indo jadi saya kira kamu sudah tau xD
👏
Didnt know that he wrote in german, i thought he wrote his books in Korean
Me too, guess he was German Korean
his german is excellent on many levels. a true reverence for the language comes through his choices of words. Am deeply touched by what he says and how he expresses and conveys it. - the translation doesn't quite capture those nuances/subtleties. for e.g. at the start of the video 0:28 he says: "um dem Leben zu dienen" - (to serve life / to be of service to life) yet the translation reads: 'to begin living' . So much is getting lost in translation .
