Just started pic related. Not as hard so far as I was warned. I have a few questions tho..
What exactly does he mean by dasein?
Is Being and Consciousness interchangeable?
What did he mean when he said that to understand and entities in being will help to understand the question of being?
Jaxson Sanders
Dasein is the kind of being that we are. Dasein is the being that takes a stand on its own being. This will make more sense the further you get into the book.
No, everything that is has being, but only some beings have consciousness. Heidegger is trying to get away from the traditional treatment of human being as isolated consciousnesses, so his existential analytic does not ground itself in subjectivity or consciousness, but instead grounds them.
I can't understand your third question.
Noah Morales
Have you read Aristotle and Kant, my man? You're in for a tuff time
Luis Adams
start with the greeks
Gabriel Thompson
Did you read his introduction? It's important to read the author's introduction to this one.
James Moore
NOOO, read the introduction last it was written last and will only confound someone who doesn't already know the lay of the book
Leo Perez
My third question was about how he says that we can understand the question of being by first formulating this: "One can determine the nature of entities in their Being without necessarily having the explicit concept of being at one's disposal."
He says that this isn't circular logic but I wasn't sure how he came to this conclusion.
Elijah Thomas
I'm reading the introduction first. I feel like I need a firm understanding of the terminology and layout of the question before diving in. Why shouldn't I?
Anthony Morgan
Perhaps he is refering to the modes of being of entities? Like how an axe is a tool, a rock is a thing and a painting is an artwork. And we can all determine this without knowing what is to Be at all.
Brayden Hill
dasein = human being, but with the implication that humans just kinda pop into existence and care about their existence/world
being = existence
Caleb Garcia
its literally wax on wax off ying yang bullshit
people who think heidegger is deep/good/correct are basically like madonna or a kardashian getting into buddhism
heideggers critique of aristotle is shit-tier
Brandon Reyes
we can understand beings qua beings without having already explicitly articulated the meaning of being because we as Dasein already have an understanding of being
Lincoln Lewis
this gets confusing because Heidegger defines existence as the mode of being of Dasein -- I'd recommend just sticking with "being"
Hudson Taylor
An inherent built in understanding right? This helps thanks
Nathan Reyes
yup, it's a constitutive part of Dasein
Jose Flores
whatever
he's just using language to make you think he's not reifying nothing and falling into the trap that plato said everyone would fall into when they try to talk about nothing
do what you want, but studying heidegger is a waste of time imo. Max Scheler is a criminally underrated phenomenologist who BTFO'd heidegger and heidegger just pretended like it would all go away, and stupid academics let it happen.
Stop reading Heidegger.
Lucas Rogers
how did you manage to get a chip on your shoulder about Heidegger?
Bentley Smith
Max Scheler served Heidegger's ass to him on a platter and Heidegger literally responds with "How can my philosophy be wrong if you forgot about being?"
Heidegger, an idiot in philosophy and a coward in real life.
FUCK HEIDEGGER.
Matthew Jackson
like 80% of academia is still jerking off to this idiot
levinas was right, we need to move the fuck on
im tired of derrida and feminist epistemologies, im tired of his radical lutheranism. academics are just lazy and see in heidegger an easy way to guarantee that they have something to publish or else they perish
Luis Gonzalez
eh I'm chilling in an American analytic department which has its own problems but at least they don't jerk off to deconstruction all day I can see how that would get frustrating
Kayden Mitchell
where's a good place to look for Scheler's critique of Heidegger?
Adam Ross
> get cucked > raise the kid anyway > argue philosophically that if we don't deconstruct all of western beliefs since plato, jews will win > fuck a jewish woman anyway, every year in your little tin shack, where you say "gods also dwell" > continue to be butthurt about jews in your diary desu > guys like Ernst Junger, who quite literally lived life to the fullest in every respect, apparent are concealed to Being and therefore kind of a retard
Nothing pissed me off like reading the Junger/Heidegger correspondences. That condescending phenomenologist fuck. It's obvious it is HIS philosophy which is in fact detached from existence. Heidegger gets to sit on his ass in his quaint little cabin cosplaying dorky elven clothing and he's the only one who truly gets it...but everyone else, sorry no, you're totally oblivious to life, my dude- I mean, my dasein!
Do not take the Heidegger pill. He's the Nazi equivalent of Derrida eating potato chips. You were warned...
Luke Ortiz
> those quads
I'd say Formalism in Ethics. There's some good essays floating around on the web about his specific critique of Heidegger and Husserl that I could dig up. Frings is basically THE Scheler scholar, btw.
Nolan Long
1)Dasein is the way human existence is structured. Being-there, always occupied with world.
2)If anything dasein is an implicit rejection of the (kantian) concept of consciousness with his neat separation of subject and object.
3) I think you misread something here. He explicitly says we must start knowing Being by questioning the being that asks the question, us, We have embedded a precoceptual notion of being, cause we participate and through language being already manifests.
He hoped though the analysis of Dasein to reach an understanding of Being. He, doesn'. this book is an admitted failure and that's why it's unnfinished, He will then change his theorical and methodogical perspective on its head with the Kehre, ontological difference, critique of humanism and all that jazz.
Andrew Morales
To understand how and why Heidegger tackles this problem, recall that the problem introduced in the Socratic dialogue Phaedo, where Socrates is challenged by the problem of knowledge. Accordingly, it seems impossible to know when one has truly learned something unless one had knowledge of that thing from the beginning. Otherwise, how would you know that 1) you've found that thing; and 2) that that thing is true? Socrates's solution is that knowledge is about remembering, and Heidegger's adaptation of that solution is to point out that Dasein already has a pre-ontological understanding of Being that we use to navigate the worlds that we've been thrown into. Heidegger then generalizes the problem of epistemology by arguing that it is a "founded-in" mode of Being, which means that epistemological certainty is predicated on how the world is metaphysically constructed. Once you know how Dasein "is" in its everydayness and in its totality, then how Dasein "knows" will become obvious in succession.
Brayden Stewart
Have you read Vincent Bloks new book on their relationship? Seems pretty interesting
Nicholas Murphy
>Being-there, always occupied with world. Does this mean Heidegger doesn't make a separation between subject and object?
Robert Morris
There's no subject without object, no trascendental emptyness to be filled by this or that representation.
Joseph King
>not as hard as I was warned >doesn't understand any of it
Bentley Myers
damn son
Juan Lewis
Yes and no. Being-in-the-world can be divided into "Being-in" and "the-world", but having a universal focus on how "subjects" meets "objects" detracts from how "objects" (i.e., the world) directs "subjects" (i.e., dasein) into a limited, but meaningful range of existential possibilities.
