Martin Heidegger: Being and Time

Martin Heidegger is arguably the most important philosopher in the past 150 years or so. Being and Time completely transformed the collective thinking around thought, existence, and our conception of time and it's relation to the human condition. He threw a wrench right in the middle of modern, enlightenment era thinkers, and their practice of ontology. He transformed the backdrop in which we analyze philosophy forever.

I'm doing my doctorate and I am working with Heidegger's 'Being and Time'. I thought I'd hop on here and see what's up. I was happy to find this. You did a wonderful job. My former professor is a Heideggeran scholar and he likes to call Heidegger's language "Heideggerese" haha

[@cpolychreona]

Who can translate Heideggeran into English? Certainly not this video.

[@ShinM.]

I'm not sure how this video would help you if you've already had any contact with Heidegger after having already gotten your master's degree and going for your PhD/Doctorate. And honestly, I'm not really sure what schools you have attended that would lead to this scenario.

@@cpolychreona Someone waggishly commented that nobody could translate Heidegger into English--or even into German.

[@jdzentrist8711]

I've subsequently read that the young Heidegger embodied the trait of being "stunned" by everything he encountered, by the "mystery" of life; that he walked in a state of "being with" as opposed to being a mere "observer." He was like our great poets, for example, Wordsworth. What "was," what "is," is the view itself. The phenomena itself. And so, his dedicating his great book to Husserl.

Also, beautiful edits, video and audio. I can tell you worked hard putting this together and I appreciate it.

[@pichirisu]

This is really cool and it's been nice to have someone focus on Heidegger in a very up-front, or like you said real-world implications/application, way that's easy to digest while still hitting on the key points without avoiding or simplifying his complex ideas. Super cool video and glad that I have a new philosophy channel to look forward to.

[@mmick66]

Excellent summary. Heidegger is very difficult to read and even more difficult to explain. Any effort will necessarily miss something important, but even conveying the basic "what it's about" is a daunting task in itself, and you go through it very well.

I wonder how Heidegger would have reacted now that the very relevance of human intellect is challenged by the potentially-apocalyptic rise of artificial intelligence, the emergence of virtual realities such as Metaverse, and the further expansion of technologies into our human perceptions, sensations, and experiences.

You did a fabulous job not to sound too inauthentic, but you really did. I loved it! You will find the concept of "interbeing" in Buddhism (especially as explained by Thich Nhat Hanh) to be exactly the same as Heidegger. When I was five, I had a mystical experience of the shattering of self into the vastness of the cosmos, of being the cosmos. When my individual self reassembled, I felt this little consciousness didn't need to worry about anything because this "I" was all over the place.

[@elvinhayes4356]

Heidegger dealt with a human being from a functional perspective; that is, he considered that which a human being "is" is most primordially that which a human being is up to, or, you could say, a human being most importantly "is" that human being's purpose, or, as Heidegger would say (in translation) a human being is best described in terms of that which a human being "cares about." When considered from this perspective, not only the human being, but everything that exists, shows up in terms of that which the human being cares about. You can contrast this to a lot of other descriptions of a human being: an academic description, an analytic/diagnostic description, or a linguistic description. If what you want out of life is what you want out of life, these descriptions tend to be impotent. Heidegger's more functional description goes right to the heart of human functionality, and thus, human productivity, and human empowerment. That's why it's received so much attention. BUT Heidegger's philosophy had a serious deficit. Reduced to it's bottom line, it's about how to get what you want out of life, but it completely ignores what you should want to get.
