I was exposed to Werner Erhard Seminar Training est in 1983 in India, and since then have read up Heidegger and how closely the ongoing Landmark training programs draw close parallel to the amazing work of Heidegger. This lecture blew my mind - Mary Jane is brilliant and I have been listening to this again and again and again

Some serious social research. They want it back, and I have to go back to school to read it again and I could completely deconstruct and rewrite it, now.

"For us, the character of the conversation with the history of thinking is no longer Aufhebung (elevation), but the step back. Elevation leads to the heightening and gathering area of truth posited as absolute, truth in the sense of the completely developed certainty of self-knowing knowledge. The step back points to the realm which until now has been skipped over, and from which the essence of truth becomes first of all worthy of thought." --Joan Stambaugh trans. (OC)

Heidegger scholar Michael Millerman draws upon recent translations (of lectures late twenties, early thirties) that emphasize a Heidegger "calling" his students (and implicitly readers by the generations)--as Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd, called his hearers-- to DECIDE: either be "authentic" or follow the crowd, the masses. I've not yet read these translations, except for the Nietzsche lectures, where Heidegger talks about RAPTURE (but not in an "evangelical" sense!). So, Heidegger indeed seems to invite those "with ears to hear" to a kind of "inner circle," but not that of orthodox faith. Not that of "onto-theology" or "metaphysics." The most fascinating part of this talk, which I MUST listen to again!, was the part about being on the inside, as it were, of this NEW SPHERE of human existence which, for lack of a better word, Heidegger terms Dasein.

@jdzentrist8711 Жыл бұрын

I used the "Good Shepherd" analogy because Mary-Jane mentioned that Heidegger speaks of Dasein as the "shepherd of Being." No?

When the encounter of the human mind with nature is brokered by reason, nature prevails. Reason mightily struggles with itself to understand nature through its laws. If you work with glass, you must understand its properties: melting point, viscosity, etc.; but the glass doesn't need to understand you. Humility sets the tone of the encounter. When reason is absent in such encounters, the unreasonable mind replaces the properties of nature as the guide to action by the whims of the mind. Hubris sets the tone for the encounter. Heidegger talks about the encounter of a human mind with another human mind, where hubris rather than humility sets the tone.

There is something about reading texts about someone talking about themselves and relating the other-self to one's self and coming out the other end with an interpretation that can be understood as an approximation while writing about myself in the moment. Such dramatic, "self contained" performances bring me to l'art pour l'art, perhaps philosophy for philosophy?

Does she actually try to low-key imply that if one cannot dance before a Being of which a greater being cannot be thought, then God is not a Being of which a greater being cannot be thought? Does she imply that God cannot be a causa sui? At least it looks like she implies that Aquinas was no mystic. First of all, I think that one can sing and dance before a Being of which a greater being cannot be thought, in the sense, that being the highest Being is something worthy of praise, but also in the sense that one can sing and dance before anything, no matter how one refers to or characterises that thing. And even if one agress with her in thinking that being the highest being is actually not that impressive (...), that does still not imply that God is not the highest being. Isn't it interesting that the lady who made up a new religion says that Aquinas was a bad theologian?

@katzenGEGENrechts Жыл бұрын

She makes fun of Theologians who characterize God as the highest being above which no greater being can be thought and implies that such a conception of God is a cold and soulless conception of God. I kinda doubt that it is, but even if she is right about that (maybe it is subjective), from that judgment (of taste?) about the judgement that God is the highest being, it does not follow that God is not the highest being. Her argument seems like: "I don't like it personally, so therefore it cannot be true".

That some overblown, self referential conservatism espoused in mystical and flowery language is met with such enthusiasm, yet Marx had already provided a much greater analysis of even the claims that are discernibly evident in Heidegger. And Marx is met with a slough of confusion, derision and misrepresentation. Relegated to a false cliche, whilst Heidegger is improperly elevated to a level of cohesion concerning that which is metaphysical (Age of the World Picture) and it's oscillating referents between the person (Being and Time) and the technical historicity of the humans coming to be (the question concerning technology; Letter on Humanism). All this is to simultaneously overlook far more profound insights from Marx and, what's the same, to pretend to disregard his own standing in a Germany facing the dissolution of the old conservative values and already existent transformation into the ultimate liquidator of the aforementioned: capitalism. Heidegger was nothing but a charlatan and his supposed most profound insights are to be found already and more clearly exposited in Marx Capital Vol 1 Chpter 15 on the transition to mass scale industry and machinery.

Marx was just a jealous little boy who wanted to get back at the rich kids he grew up with. He knew he couldn't do it through business so he used the ignorance of the masses to gain the power and wealth he sought as a child. Communism/Marxism has failed and capitalism has prevailed. Accept it:)

And his theories have failed and caused misery and poverty for countless millions of people. And his legacy, namely Vladimir Putin, is still creating misery and destruction around the world.

im very limited on marx view so feel free to correcr me if im wrong but their views focus on different things. hiedeggar doesnt gave to be trash just because Marx is good or vise versa. again from my limited understanding marx focuses on the orientation of a collective of people and im guessing a idea of what people are but in terms of a view looking at other people and not from within himself. Hiedeggars importance is the categorization of the actual human experience, which in turn brings clarity to the actual foundations of what being a human being is. Hiedeggar doesnt tell us what to think or whats good or bad for us. just that We are beings and the best thing we can do to be is be. Your being can being a marxist loving person. there is no need to reject another philosophy just because it is not your favorite. Even if my idea of marxism is wrong, the would be no reason for hiedeggar to write what he has if marx already did it.

Heidegger might be the most overvalued philosopher. I am not saying his view is wrong, but instead is quite useless. Human with the body in the physical realm and the mind in a concept realm, what we need philosophy for? We need a philosophy to help us build a stable mind realm with a stable foundation, for both individual and collective human society. Historically, metaphysics focuses on building the concept tree in the mind realm, but seemed to lose its touch with the physical realm. However, this boundary between the two realms could never be defined by concepts only. We will never be able to know why we know. The goal is unattainable.

“It is entirely correct and completely in order to say, 'You can’t do anything with philosophy.' The only mistake is to believe that with this, the judgment concerning philosophy is at an end. For a little epilogue arises in the form of a counterquestion: even if we can’t do anything with it, may not philosophy in the end do something with us, provided that we engage ourselves with it?” (Intro to Metaphysics, 13)
