It's phenomology of time and I got to read it. Good luck with that. They are at the church and it releases them from the ontology, it was supposed to be here 800 years ago.

Sein is typically spoken in German as a future to tense such as Ich werde sein oder Wir werden sein, I will be, we will be, but also zu Sein, to be. I think the more direct translation is important. Paul Tillich responded to much of the existential philosophies in theological terms, pointing out the God says to Moses “I am that I am” and probably more accurate in Hebrew “I will be that I will be”. So in the Old Testament we get directly a God of being, God of existence or as Tillich says “The Ground of Being”. Similarly in the New Testament Jesus makes several ontological statements the way, the truth, the light. But it is important that this is coming from the Gospel of John, which in my opinion Jesus did not say those words, but was a philosophical statement of Logos theology. (Reference Justin Martyr as he says we have “designated” Jesus as the Logos itself.) Heraclitus described the Logos as the hidden order and central pillar of the universe. So the way to seeing and experiencing the truth of eternity in the present, not by counting Calendar days. I think Heidegger’s Nazism does not make his work dismissible, but it is a sign of his vulnerability. Heidegger wanted a totalizing ontology, because strong ontological ideas are totalizing. A German being, a German I-am-ness, a German we-will-be-ness, moving from the future tense to Zu Sein, the present tense. The vulnerability of Heidegger is the vulnerability modern people fall prey to all the time, by creating a too narrow sense of ontology, our personal ontology, our group ontology, we fall prey to a type of idolatry. Heidegger’s vulnerability is the same vulnerability of identity cultism that is all around us.

Maybe specialist are reading less. General public probably reads more. Yeah there aren't much haikus... eppur si muove

You just talking a lot. You just repeating what have you been said to you. Start thinking by your own bro!

Aloha Samuel! Has Stambaugh seen this vid? If so, what does she say about the translation of the title? (Aiiman)

good to know the environment of the author 🖤

40:06 I aim to show this clip to everyone in my course for B&T and encourage them to watch your video in its totality, Samuel. Thanks so much for all your hard work, and even more so for caring about public education during this media revolution!

“New oral age” - would have to agree 👍

Thanks for watching! www.samueloncar.com/courses

Thanks to all of your interest in this lecture and the series, I now have a course available, going into detail on this subject: The Mystery of Existence: An Audio Course on Heidegger's Sein und Zeit: www.samuelloncar.com/learn Haunted by Hamlet’s question, To Be or Not to Be, humans wander the world oblivious to their meaning of their own existence. A century ago, in a period of global turmoil, crisis, and despair, Martin Heidegger published a revolutionary response to the question, what does it mean to be, creating the foundations of Existentialism and reshaping philosophy, atheism, and religion across the world. His book, Sein und Zeit, was first translated into English in 1962 as Being and Time. Based on a decade of research at Yale University by the philosopher Samuel Loncar, Ph.D., this original interpretation of Sein und Zeit, using only the German text and his own translations, reveals for the first time that Heidegger’s work has been mistranslated and therefore misunderstood as Being and Time. Heidegger’s essential idea of what it means to be was obscured by his own fraught employment of ideas from the history of theology, the immense intellectual challenge of explaining Heidegger’s ideas, whose origins he sought to conceal, and the difficulty of rendering them in English. From Being to Time to Existence and Time: An Interpretation of Sein und Zeit presents a fundamental reevaluation of Heidegger’s major work by returning to the original German and integrating the hidden frameworks that shaped Heidegger. Drawing on recent scholarship and his own work in the history of philosophy, science, and religion, Samuel Loncar provides a clear analysis of the central ideas of the book, giving any engaged listener the tools to understand the text for themselves and gain a deeper understanding of their own existence. At the heart of his argument is his solution to the book’s central, but rarely discussed, mystery: Why Did Martin Heidegger’s define the human being in the same terms Thomas Aquinas’ used to describe God? In the end, we are led to a new vision of Heidegger, philosophy, theology, atheism, and our own existence.

Is it necessary to understand German language to really understand Heidegger and likewise, Greek to understand pre-socratics etc?

Nice!

Your remarks are very important but I don't see how existence could be a translation of Sein since existence is to-be of Dasein. Also, Heidegger talks about exactly that in What is Metapshysics where he explicitly says why it is called Sein und Zeit and not Existenz und Zeit. (pg. 17 - 18 in Vittorio Klostermann 2007). I know you are probably aware of this and I would like to hear your opinion on this. Thanks, and keep up with marvelous lectures!

I like what you have to say about the cultural revolution sparked by youtube and video lectures. The potential opportunities of video have been made especially apparent after going through my freshman year of university on zoom. I think that that message would do better, however, in a separate video. I also havent seen any of your other videos yet, but you may experiment exploiting the platform even more, incorporating slideshows or other visual aides. You could encourage really interesting discourse in your comment sections etc. If you arent already familiar with the wonderful editing and formatting of the likes of vsauce and nerdwriter, I would suggest seeing if there is any part of their “video essay” style you could glean that would serve to modernize your dialectic even further. I think especially some of the meta comments that you make about where your lecture is going could be quickly flashed as bullet points on screen instead to keep the momentum of your discussion going. Just some thoughts, I love your work here!

Thank you, Dr. Loncar. This was a generous and useful introduction and I deeply appreciate you tackling the tortured question of being. I have been put off by the use of big B, small b etc. and this has served to keep me at a distance from this part of Heidegger’s contribution. You’ve won me over on the idea of “Existence and Time” and I’m looking forward to listening to more of your course. Many thanks again.

I learned about this book from several different courses and lectures over the years and in synthesizing those many readings I had taken "Being" to mean "Existence" which seems to be in line with the nominal infinitive form you spoke of. "The to be" -> "Existence". I'm surprised to hear that this is considered new or revolutionary since it permeated public understandings of the work at least far enough to reach me, a casual student of philosophy. But those explanations I was given were in spoken lectures. Perhaps it has never been committed to writing. Word choice is important. You should author a full translation!

The Protestant Revolution also ushered in terrible wars shortly after it began. What’s your view on Human War after a revolution in thought, belief and religion?

I haven’t watched the video yet but I have to say that I love your preamble. There’s no reason someone should have to go to an expensive or prestigious college to get an education anymore. That’s because of online resources and communities. And people like you. Thanks.

Thank you I like the idea of Sein as Existence, but do you think we could translate Zeit as Temporality.

Congratulations Professor Samuel. You think. You nail it🌹

excellent. i like that you are bringing heidegger into the public domain. you raise many questions and i look forward to your lectures.

Thank you, keep up the good work (and apology for the typo in the earliest of my notes below).

listening to Schönberg was normal? (what period you have in mind? - years immediately after the WWI?)

only "some" of the scholarships connected with Thomistic centers?

raised in Freiburg?

Lovely to see an eloquent exposition of Heidegger as public philosophy. I strongly disbelieve the conclusion to your argument, so I am excited to see how it plays out. Per now, I think "Existence and Time" is highly misleading, exactly because existence is the topic of the text as we know it.

Thank you Samuel. Enjoyed this lecture very much. Given Heidegger's essays against technology, I was a bit surprised to hear that you found the new media revolution to be promising for philosophy.

This is the most helpful thing I've ever encountered on Heidegger, and Loncar's claims are profound. We haven't even translated the book correctly because we haven't understood it. Until now!

Makes one reimagine "repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near", in a wonderful way...

Thank you! Great lecture!
