Aristotle and Heidegger........Two of the greatest guides any human being can Have .....I first met Being and Time in 1962 and it was the greatest eye opener in my life.......I have read far and beyon since then....avoiding the commentaries....Greatest thing he wrote is Heraclitus and Parmenedes Started at 21 years old amd I am now 82 years old
It feels like the West is in a malaise, and if consciousness in the West was expanded, to the point where Heidegger is broadly understood in the same way Aristotelian logic is taken for granted, there could be a paradigm shift of sorts.
Brilliant thanks Michael it has me thinking about something I read on John Waters substack yesterday about Václav Havel and his sorrow and disappointment in his failure to change politics . Just for me success might very well not be their in your lifetime to enjoy but is a marker for the success in the future.
I'd be curious to hear what you think about Hubert Dreyfus' commentary on Being and Time? It is extremely accessible and I think very good. (But I'm not sure all would agree, it is definitely influenced by some of the pragmatism of Dreyfus' MIT environment - but perhaps the pragmatic, working language of engineers was a kind of working language Heidegger overlooks in thinking of science as mere theory - I am thinking here that Heidegger is a great champion of working languages, but thinks mostly those used by workers engaged in physical tasks).
Millerman, really enjoy your videos. Question: you said that Nietzsche ended “Platonic” philosophy. In a few sentences😊, what is that philosophy and how did Nietzsche end it?

We will forever destroy because we want a world of our own”.-- 1921 Maurice Samuel 🤡 We are told Germans wanted to rule over us as the master race by a tribe that lords over us as “The Chosen”....

Whither has history escaped from us, such that newspapers and factions can boast to be its preservers? Heidegger responds to the NYT. Ponderings II-VI [70-72]
The second meaning of incept is to take in, receive, specif. to consume ( amoebas incept food particles). Could this be a recommendation of ideographic rather than linear writing?
I don't know enough to answer specifically, but my immediate thought was given that they elevated reason above all else then systemically destroyed our ability to reason, they didn't eventually didn't need to even target a specific philosopher, but it makes it easier to do when they do
Not really, there is a consistent set of problems. They tend to talk about ideas rather than people though, because they’re philosophers, not fanboys. 😂
@@superdeluxesmell I agree there's some of that fanboy stuff... But i think, for example, Kant's 3rd Antinomy and his proposed resolution to it (as problematic as it may be) was way ahead of its time compared to the contemporary "compatibility problem" of free will, which is trapped in endless conundrum. But I've not seen a paper by van Inwagen, Frankfurt, Fischer, etc. engage with Kant.
That's what you get with analytical thought, the word itself comes from the Greek "analytos" meaning to dissolve. And that's all analytical philosophy is, you cant build anything from it

Thanks for the exhortation to read Heidegger haha. I've given up about 50 times and keep coming back over the last 5 years.
I have many videos and courses on him. Always worth another shot
Remarkably interesting and motivational given the random nature of the selections. Your classes must be phenomenal!
Heidegger was Genius and he was ahead of his Time.

Okay was Crack invented yet that's what he was smoking

This channel is criminally under viewed.
I stand with Heidegger

yeah having read the 'propositions on science' in contributions, maybe strike the bracketed stuff

12:22 good.
For the algorithm 😉
21:55 What do you mean "we?"
What have been some of the post-WW2 consequences, for politics and philosophy, of Heidegger being demonized for some of his views?
less counterweights for pragmatism, maybe?

The Analytical school seem less engaged with past thinkers and just arrogantly start from scratch, again and again and again

If you got paid by a university, you wouldn’t do anything meaningful either.
