Hubert Dreyfus on Embodiment (I-II)

[@psionicman]

@oc00011 there's a nice discussion about exactly that question in "in defense of lost causes" by slavoj zizek, in a chapter entitled "why heidegger took the right step but in the wrong direction in 1933". the quick version: yes, but much is salvageable. you can kind of get a sense of his opinion on it in the youtube video "Zizek - Ecology: The New Opiate of the Masses (6 of 7)" which is mostly a question from an audience member re: heidegger and then zizek's reply.

yes, i read numerous books by him in numerous classes on existential and phenomenology. he's the top living expert and very insightful.

[@humantechnology]

it is in his lecture called "being-toward-death". available as podcast on the web.

If you're just trying to help us understand Heidegger better, because YOU care if Dreyfus gets Heidegger right or wrong (for some silly egoistic reason) and YOU care if we understand it properly, then you could help us in a much more benevolent manner.

Interesting stuff.. cheers :)

@AngryMrBubbles can u please elaborate? i mean, philosophy and politics cannot be said to be unrelated. one must have influence on the other, surely..? for instance, he saw himself as a "philosopher king" as envisioned by plato, but he exercised this in his politics, being on hitler's right hand.

*a smart comment*

[@TRAGlCHERO]

Fascinating...

[@Lewclan]

Honestly, who cares if Dreyfus gets it right? Do you think Heidegger would care if people were getting him wrong? If you think Heidegger would take offense to the "herd" misunderstanding him then you obviously do not understand Heidegger. Do you not see the ridiculous irony in trying to prove that your interpretations of Heidegger are "right" and others are "wrong?"

[@interestingyoutubechannel1]

is heidegger's politics (nazism) interwoven in his philosophy?

[@Azur1al]

i get your point though

[@Footnotes2Plato]

wrong about what, AI?

[@Lewclan]

I never said anything about extermination, that is YOUR fanaticism leaking through. YOU are the one who was talking about extermination.

[@Jimalax11]

ESL? A heads up... your comment is unintelligible.

[@Lewclan]

Either way, the act of you posting comments reveals that you care about the relationships you have between the "herd," "superficial men," and "youth." Otherwise, why would you try to derogate and attack other people's interpretations? You can't even respond to my post because doing so would only demonstrate the fact that you care about what I think - you have lost the game by playing it. Elitists like you are exactly what is wrong with the world.

[@Lewclan]

I never said I would like to silence you. I said that people like you are what is wrong with the world. I will stick by that if you continue to act so aggressively and maliciously towards those who do not deserve it. Putting words in people's mouth and then knocking over the straw man you've constructed is a technique of the sham philosopher. Heidegger lived with the peasants. Even when offered a teaching position in Berlin he refused, because he wished to stay in the country. Think about this.
