  • Martin Heidegger is the greatest philosopher of the 20th century for many - from Giles Deleuze to the alt-right and undoubtedly one of the most controversial characters in the history of philosophy. In this episode we will look at the life and philosophy of Martin Heidegger and his masterpiece Being and Time. We also explore his lesser-known later philosophy after going through what scholars call 'Die Kehre' or 'The Turn". At this point, we see Heidegger on technology and the dangers the technological worldview presents to us today. We also talk about his association with the National Socialist party in Germany and Heidegger's controversial embrace of them as rector at the University of Freiburg before turning his back on them as being part of the technological problem.

    Thank you. I never studied philosophy at Uni. I never went to Uni. I didn't realize I was a born philosopher, I thought I was a cook or a truck driver. My mind, my intellect and something else have craved this study all my life. I'm an old guy now, and I sit there saying 'yes' out loud to so much of Heidegger's thinking. i find the limits of language to confront the unknown most distressing. The need for new words is dire. Nothing has more restrictive inertia than the available words of the day. Thanks Again

This made me recall of Leibniz's concept of Characteristica universalis.

    Wonderful video, as always!
    Scholars like Heidegger are really interesting case studies.
    I know that there are many who believe it's possible to compartmentalize and separate between a person's genius and their morality (or lack thereof), but it's so difficult for me to accept that a person can be so knowledgeable, curious and creative with their mind and yet still have such erroneous and monstrous beliefs. I think that's what Levinas was saying, it's harder to "forgive" those who are capable of truly understanding the consequence of their bigoted beliefs.

      Association and support for the Nazi party is not a crime, or indicative of a monstor in any way whatsoever. the rise of the party promised good things for germany and german people. It is post defeat that the narrative acont tqakes a moralistic stand of pure opposition to it. I nfact it was many things and cpmprose dmany people, includiing bulderws buiding homes, farmers on farms, philosphers. Now we should turn to speak of the carpt bombing of the non-military target of |Dresden by Curchill, just one henious war crime by the man. CHurchill was no tin the NAzi party and did not support it, so doe sthat make the killin gof tens of thousandds of civiliands woth carpet bombing OK? Yes it does, acording to the current way of thinking, who will evade the quesiton in order to excuse the action. So all mainstream thought is abetting a henious criminal, because such crimes are n ot relative at all. It's crime, even in war.

      Acho que você coloca justamente o fato biográfico que a partir do momento em que foi denunciado o envolvimento de Heidegger com o nazismo abalou o prestígio do pensador que ele foi. Mas acho também que esse ponto continua obscuro e um esforço no sentido de seu esclarecimento (que ele próprio se recusou a dar...), continua a espera. Não me parece satisfatório, tendo em vista o único ponto de seu pensamento que nos interessa e faz pensar, "a diferença ontologica", que está tenha algo a ver com o nazismo. Seja como for,

    Yes, it seems Aristotle is responsible for this diminished sense of the value of Being in western Philosophy. As Pierre Grimes says, it's probably because scholars prefer to just read Aristotle rather than dig into the Pre-Socratics, which goes into his distinction between scholarship itself and the true philosophical tradition.
    It's interesting that the few who sought to revive Philosophy, had to dig back beyond Aristotle into the pre-socratics.

      As far´s I know, it took several years until the regime really got a strong hold on all walks of life by various ways of "transformation" (from the rather weak Weimarean democray into full fledged Nazi-totalitarianism, that is). It took at least until 1936, the year of the Olympic Games in Berlin, when it slowly began to get really rough - while, by the way, A. Hitler had still important admirers in the "West", like W. Churchill. Well, three years before, in 1933, many people (from the left, the right, and the middle) still seem to have seen the "leader" as the "least bad evil" - they feelt that the "Weimarer Verhältnisse" still got worse and worse with every year and had somhow - different peoples and parties proposed different "cures" - to be stopped. So, it weren´t only Nazis who held some hopes for "betterment" - and the ones who thought to really hold the power, like Van Papen, who signed the "empowerment" bill, thought "barking dogs don´t bite", this temporary "state of emergency" would not last very long. Well, he erred, as so many others did - and, mutatis mutandis, still do. - That would be my take on it. @@prometheusboat

    Grateful for this excellent take on this man and his work! I have his works on my bookshelf and intend to scour their contents once I have digested some other significant works from the past, but this video proves to be an illuminating synchronicity which I find myself interested in, especially as it correlates with the need for a proper comprehension of how individuals should traverse a society that seeks to destroy every form of sacred conceptions of reality that it can find. That coupled with the synopsis of his work Being and Time definitely gives me greater onus to delve into that work sooner rather than later, seeing as the very fiber of being is a crucial thing to comprehend if we would as a collective survive the act of gazing deep into the abyss.

    What is “Is”? That’s a great phrasing of the perennial question. Mind and matter seem, and quite rationally so, different things, but they are only the two irreducible things with which we feel we need to identify as. Is-ness is what pervades both and is thus neither and both at the same time. Is-ness requires neither to be “Is”. Here would be Heidegger’s “God”.

      I agree 八神こう with the point about speculation but on the other hand I think that it's only by pioneering into these deep unknowns do we slowly make these domains consciousness. My take is that this speculation into the chaotic realms of the unknown is how we have to come to build islands of knowledge in an ocean of noise. It's audacious which makes it very hard to understand since what is being spoken of is only coming to consciousness for the first and still hasn't been digested enough to be readily understood. Or at least that's my frame when studying these subjects. It's quite a charitable one I guess but it helps with the curiosity to dive into them

      Ontology is a thorny and dangerous plane of inquiry that touches the very root and ground of life.
      You know you are getting somewhere when you discover that it is terrifying and that "existential" is a genre of horror.
      But quite rightly, it is speculative because we as extant beings cannot separate ourselves from being and make it an object of study the way we can regard planets from great distances with telescopes, yet there in lives the value of it.
      The underlying purpose -- what you might call the ontology of ontology -- is that it is insoluble. And so it is extremely useful for teaching humility, the sense of one's ignorance, and, with patience, the marvel of existence and how fascinating it is that we live.
      To touch the imponderability of ontology is to catch a shocking glimpse of the divine. And "the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom."

    Hey James, Great video thanks! Does this passage from Being and Time undermine the Postmodern version of truth being relative? "Because the kind of Being that is essential to truth is of the character of Dasein, all truth is relative to Dasein's Being. Does this relativity signify that all truth is 'subjective'? If one Interprets 'subjective' as 'left to the subject's discretion', then it certainly does not. For uncovering, in the sense which is most its own, takes asserting out of the province of 'subjective' discretion, and brings the uncovering Dasein face to face with the entities themselves. And only because 'truth', as uncovering, is a kind of Being which belongs to Dasein, can it be taken out of the province of Dasein's discretion. Even the 'universal validity' of truth is rooted solely in the fact that Dasein can uncover entities in themselves and free them." ~Martin Heidegger, Being and Time, edited by Macquarie and Robinson, p.270.

      Interesting citation. It sounds even a bit like a famous passage in the "Treasure and Eye of the True Law" (Shôbôgenzô) by the mediaeval Sôto-Master Dôgen Kigen on "Studying oneself, means: ...". Well, Martin Heidegger´s philosoph clearly was - among other "things" - also inspired by Eastern and Western "mystics", like Meister Eckhard and the relatively famous Rinzai-"missionary" Daisetzu Teitarô Suzuki.

    Heidegger was THE intellectual juggernaut who ended philosophy. Didn't bother writing his planned part two of or even finishing Being and Time. He said go read a poem or paint a picture. That's how you'll get what he's talking about. Not in reading books about thoughts and concepts.

      That was Hegel. Not even Heidegger could've written a book like The Science of Logic. Heidegger himself has said it was Hegel who "ended' Philosophy. He was the last of the great system builders in history after Kant. Hegelian dialectics is the most traumatic and influential idea in modern Philosophy. All thinkers after Hegel have tried to mark a distance (without success, of course) with regard to his thought.

    Isn't Dasein also the idea about humans being the creators and the created? As in, we are the beings that inevitably create themselves?

    • @juvenalhahne7750
      @juvenalhahne7750 6 днів тому

      Acho que essa é mais a ideia de Marx. Quanto a Heidegger penso que o Dasein, atentando para o fato de a palavra ser composta do adverbo "ai" é do verbo "ser" que ele é o lugar onde se manifesta o Ser; ou seja, o aí do Ser.
      Pelo menos, é também como entendo o pensar para Heidegger: o estar a escuta do Ser. Ou, já na "virada" para a poesia, a inspiração do poeta, o que remete a invocação de Homero pelo favor das musas.

      Martin Heidegger was i.m.o. first and foremost an explorer, trying to "get back to the things themselves" (as Edmund Husserl put it). Follwing this deconstructivist maxim, one general advice - especially addressed to the guild of conventional philosophers, that is - was: Go back to the "roots", i.e., to the Pre-Socratics and, starting from there, try for a "new beginning" (´neuen Anfang´)! And one of the basic steps towards this goal would be, first of all: Try to overcome the orthodox, old-school "Onto-Theologie", which inauthentically reifies "Being" (Ger.: ´Sein´), of which we may get some glimpses of, now and then, so to speak, into "being" (Ger.: ´Dasein´) as a "thing" (among all the other ones).
      Well, some (post)modern Euro-Daoists even asssume that Martin Heidegger, the "Waldschratt vom Schwarzwald", was "at heart" a kind of "anonymous Zenist". And they, therefore, propose to all "wayfarers" taking Master Dôgen´s panacea of "Just mind sit[ting Zen]!" (Jap: ´Shi kan taza!´, Ger.: "SitZen, nur SitZen und nix als SitZen!" [Vorsicht Wortspiel! Gleins Schbässle gmachd!]). - Well, does it work? I won´t dare to say.
      Well, You may at least get a hunch of which ways some generic answers would tend to go.

    Heidegger, the type of grandpa to tell you to play outside with the kids instead of wasting your youth farming some particular pixels in front of a TECHNOLOGICAL screen.
    Technology makes sense for the fittest. Only survivors can enjoy the poetry of nature, right? As long as the technology backbone keeps us alive, we get the chance (and hopefully the time) to enjoy poetry and the arts.

    As a enthusiast of Wittgenstein I woldn't quote his early quote about the limits of the language. In his late philosophy Wittgenstein doesn't seek the new words and new forms of language (Philosophical Investigations paragraph 133). He is more focused on solving existing one's problems and misunderstandings. In early philosophy (tractatus) he believes that solving philosophical problems is neither usefull nor succesfull (introduction and paragraph 6.52). Both are very far from Heiddeger point of view, hence, I would be more carefull with quoting Wittgenstein.

    “What is “there” becomes “here” when you reach it; likewise, your today disguises itself in the form of tomorrow.”
    “So long as you do not resume silence, the distinction of appearance and reality
    will remain; a thread not tied by a knot must always have two ends.”
    “As long as silence reigned (i.e., as long as there was no verbalization of Reality)
    all was calm and undisturbed; it is the tongue of man that has given a hot-bed of stormy waves to the ocean (of life.).”
    ~ Abdul Qadir Bedil
    Heidegger’s notion of thinking and poetry to situate Bedil’s “position” in a contemporary idiom. For Heidegger, “There is a thinking more rigorous than the conceptual.” Heidegger’s philosophy meant something that reminds us more of Arab (also inclusive Muslim and eastern philosophers) philosophers than modern Western post-Cartesian philosophers. It appears that the view of
    aims and definition of philosophy he approves of is more a kind of mysticism than philosophy as generally taken by the moderns. Key points in Heidegger that make engaging with him possible for a mystical poet like Bedil include Being, Mystery, Death, Poetry. The quest for Being is a mystical project and the ways to it - thinking, poetry. The primary complaint against philosophy is that it
    has forgotten the the question of Being, and this task has to be carried out by the poet. Instead of calculative thinking, he calls for meditative thinking that “contemplates the meaning which reigns in everything that is” (Heidegger 1966: 46) and that can consist simply in “dwell[ing] on what lies close to us and
    meditate[ing] on what is closest…” (Heidegger 1966: 47). He proposes for accessing the Truth of Being something like “learned ignorance” of the mystics, and attention to something too close to requiring “building complicated concepts.” Instead, “it is concealed in the step back that lets thinking enter into a questioning that experiences…” (Heidegger 1977: 255). The problem occurs only for representational thought to tackle such a primordial, pre-reflective encounter with fundamentally simple Being. Heidegger
    requires a kind of will-less waiting, or as he says, a kind of “releasement,” for this experiencing of Being
    (Heidegger 1966: 62, 66). He calls for, like mystics, opening up the human spirit, standing naked before the Mystery, perfecting the faculty of attention, forgetting the manipulating, willing, technological self that modern man has been reduced to, to lose the self in doing, in work, and “letting the world light up, clear up, join itself into one in manifold self-appropriations, letting us find in it a real dwelling place instead of the
    cold, sterile, hostilery which we find ourselves” (Hafstadter 1971: xvii)

    The more languages one learns the more the more one can see how they control our thoughts and views of the world. German does have a greater capacity to create new words than, for example, English or French or Spanish. People shouldn't get too hung up on the Nazi angle as most of history consists of shameless lies told by the winners. The Americans dropped bombs on German and Japanese civilians, threw tens of thousands of their own citizens into terrible concentration camps, and according to some killed thousands of Germans in post-war camps. We call their war the "good" war, as opposed I guess the baddie war.
