This Core Concept video focuses on Martin Heidegger's lecture "What Is Metaphysics?" and gives a closer focus on the mood or affective state of anxiety (Angst), by looking at what he calls "original anxiety", how it can break forth, and how most people manage to repress or distract themselves from it.

Gregory B. Sadler Thx Why you Don't give a full answers to my questions in the Q&A live stream 😝

[@namadekisufa]

I find it difficult to find a place in the book from where you quote the text. Could you please provide the location of the quote from 08:30? Thank you

[@GregoryBSadler]

That's not something I do with free videos.

[@estebandelacruzg1281]

Hi. Thanks for this video. Is Sartre's book situations related to this?

[@GregoryBSadler]

Sartre's philosophy draws upon Heidegger's

[@Theo_Theemuts]

You mean in his book 'Nausea' for example? Then, I would say so. Sartre was strongly inspired by Heidegger (although he arguably 'misinterpret' him...). One could view French existentialism as a more down-to-earth interpretation of the existential ontology

[@SmoothHourglass]

I'd critique his claim that anxiety is a constant condition of being because it is latent and ready to emerge on the grounds that all of our emotions are latent and ready to emerge. Our being is as much grounded in any other emotional frame as it is in anxiety. Also I'd critique his description of daily activity as being a distraction from said anxiety. I believe engagement with the world can be as legitimate as engaging anxiety. When we are anxious we are as much denying ourselves other kinds of experience as we are denying anxiety when we distract ourselves.Often times in daily activity I am earnestly compelled by sheer interest rather than as a deliberate means to evade anxiety. So I would characterize experience as being genuinely more multifaceted and various than Heidegger, rather than as a constant oscillation between anxiety and distraction.

[@GregoryBSadler]

Heidegger doesn't think all daily activity is an escape from anxiety.

[@SmoothHourglass]

Gregory B. Sadler okay that's good. I've got to read him as he is constantly coming up in things I'm reading and conversations I'm having.

[@thomastereszkiewicz2241]

Is that underlying anxiety caused by fear of our own mortality?

[@GregoryBSadler]

It is connected with being-towards-death. I doubt Heidegger would say anxiety is caused by fear

[@mattgilbert7347]

So, this preoccupation with beings at the expense of Being is the defining feature of Heidegger's nihilism? If I have that right, it is a different kind of nihilism to the one found in Nietzsche, isn't it? It seems that way to me, maybe I'm wrong.

[@GregoryBSadler]

Who says Heidegger is a nihilist? He wouldn't. And Nietzsche's not a nihilist either

[@mattgilbert7347]

Gregory B. Sadler Well I didn't say they were nihilists. But they were concerned with the problem of meaning or lack of it. That is all I mean't by "Heidegger's nihilism". Apologies if that wasn't clear.

[@mattgilbert7347]

Gregory B. Sadler "Defining feature of the nihilism that Heidegger thinks is a problem that we have to deal with" - that might be a way of putting it.

[@GregoryBSadler]

Totally unclear. Generally if you say X's A, you're attributing A to X, when A is some sort of -ism I get that what you meant was more like "Heidegger's [view on] nihilism." And yes, they both were concerned with the erosion of meaning that comes about through nihilism. You know, Heidegger lectured on Nietzsche, and one main section in those lectures focuses specifically on Nihilism, so that's probably where you want to start. Here's vols. 3-4 of those lectures, where you'll find that discussion - amzn.to/2G9S6OZ

What would Heidegger say about those who have not given much thought to Being in their entire lives? I for one have not given much thought to Being and I haven't experienced any "adverse effects of such a lack of contemplation.

[@GregoryBSadler]

That's the situation of most people, Heidegger thinks. You'll find him discussing it in portions of Being and Time. I
