    What Heidegger did for Philosophy is akin to what the founders of Quantum Mechanics did for Physics; a redefinition of the ground of Being.
    Thank you for the readings.

    Wow, fantastic! Heidegger said the essence of this Grund/Ground embraces itself into us. This is “initiation“ as the ancients would call it. This is an empowerment experience that all sacred wisdom traditions had at their core. Often, since Christianity has taken over has this been denied to us. But Heidegger, and now many others are reviving this “bedrock in the mountains of human history“. Let us all seek with all we got this “remembrance”.

    You should do a series on Ratzinger’s Introduction to Christianity, he cites Heidegger’s distinction of calculating vs reflective thinking and seems to take a similarly post-modern approach to Biblical studies
    Edit: also, have you ever looked into Meister Eckhart’s use of the word Gründ in his sermons? Seems like Heidegger’s concept might be indebted in some way to him

    Out of all the German language intellectuals I’ve tried to read: Jung; Heidegger; Jung; Kant; Hegel; Freud; Nietzsche, I’ve found Freud the easiest to read. Heidegger’s writing in Being and Time reminds me of Buddhism, did not finish that book though. So this lecture will be good for me.

      It is about an awareness when moving yourself through layers and recognition of the Truth when it looks you in the face - in a way, it doesn't matter 'what' Heidegger is in propositional, pigeon-holing terms, it is where he takes us, where he took himself. I'd suggest that bracketing and naming of objects is not the path here.

    I just discovered your channel and kept hearing Heideggers name in your Dugin videos so I figured this is a good place to start. I’m relatively familiar with Nietzsche and resonate with his work, but felt like he was missing the transcendent. I’m now discovering traditionalism and perennialism and it’s great.

    successful politics (the selling of ideologies) succeed by tapping into an priori environment of needs and wants and capitalizing on them. it only takes an “eclipse of reason” to buy in and you have to be solidly grounded and i think philosophically oriented to stay sober.

    I wonder if Martin knew that the foundation of Greek culture-their “grund”, was the mystery schools. These mysteries such as Eleusis were purposely secret-not much spoken of. But they were held in high esteem and experienced by Plato and most of all citizens of Athens. As well as many cultures of the time and most likely reaching back deep into antiquity.

    Just as a piece of advice, for what you do is very important to build upon the right direction of society:
    Your communication is good: nice voice tone and explanation of the concepts.
    But if you want to get the audience more connected you should stop this interruptions that you do while reading, whether they are to enhance ideas or make your own comments.
    Separate more the studied content from the interpretation of it; therefore I as a listener would like to experience Heidegger word by word without any interruption, take my own conclusions, and then see if they are well oriented with what the author is trying to express once I listen to your interpretation.
    Good job tho.

  • @jdzentrist8711
    @jdzentrist8711 Рік тому

    Strauss' project can be described as a "salvaging" of the Greeks (Plato and Aristotle) as they understood themselves. Does not Heidegger say (perhaps about Strauss, whom I think he followed) that such a "salvaging" (retrieval) is superficial? I thought I heard that in the text you were reading from. It appeared to be referring to Leo Stauss' approach. If so, Heidegger was familiar with Strauss and felt he stopped quite short of this true "restoration" of the Greeks, i.e., not via Plato and Aristotle, but rather per Parmenides and Heracleitus. (See p. 93 of "The Question of Being," trans. Wilde and Kluback. Here Heidegger, giving a talk shortly after the publication of Stauss' "Natural Right and History," seems to be alluding to Strauss, who is said to be critical of "radical historicism" in "Natural Right and History." I had been taught that "radical historicism" meant Heidegger's "moral relativism." In any event, even while reading Strauss in the seventies, I felt that he misunderstood Heidegger's "destruction" of "metaphysics."

    Thomas Jefferson's life is a direct contradiction to his stated philosophy; I find that problematic and inexcusable. Heidegger's life also contradicted his stated philosophy and is equally inexcusable. Perhaps the real philosophies of both are in their writings defending the indefensible.

      Yes, Jefferson had slaves, and Heidegger had Nazi leanings. But it’s very difficult to judge things out of their historical context. We may also be judged harshly in the future on many of the things we do and participate in. Both these men were towering figures of positive ideas that influenced our world in ways that make life better today.
