Heidegger Towards Death: Being-towards-death

Күн бұрын

This video is about Heidegger's idea of "Being-towards-death." More specifically, the bulk of it is a close textual analysis of the first chapter of Being and Time Division II. It is prefaced with an introduction to Heidegger, his thought, and care specifically. The video also presents a challenge from Jean-Paul Sartre and a possible response to it. Finally, it ends with a discussion of the philosophy of (the authentic) life as it results from our Being-towards-death.

Best and most accurate summary on Heidegger’s Being and Time that I found on youtube!

I've been obsessing over Heidegger again, especially being-towards-death. This video came at the perfect time for me.

Of all the videos I have watched on Heidegger, and I have been trying to understand him through the medium of Videos as I am a Medicine Student and have no background in Philosophy, this was the best video. Thank you for your effort. Peace Brother.

I've never read Heidegger or Sartre, but having watched this video, the question I got is: isn't it that both of them just created building blocks for the systematization of the chaoticness of life, which are completely arbitrary, as their simply concepts that exist within human minds and are being the constructions of these minds? To me it occurs that both Heidegger and Sartre are right, because they're debating upon terminology that exists within their minds to give themselves a way to examine life. It's like, for example, a LOTR fan arguing with a Star Wars fan upon concepts that exist within their respective universes. Technically they'd both be right because these universes are entirely made up. I mean, wouldn't it be better to just embrace the chaoticness? We don't have to systematize everything, some things just exist as a complex, incomprehensible and interconnected system of phenomena that goes outside of human perception. The way I look at it: Death just is.

Excellent as ever, I suppose incompleteness is intrinsic to conditioned being, but is there an unconditioned being?

How is Heidegger’s being-towards-death different (or the same) as Schopenhauer’s discussion of death?

Reading this section of the book now. Excellent explanations. Helpful, although his words are frightfully clear, as I read them. Heidegger, Nazi or not, is one of the Redwoods of Western thought. And to think, we had him in our time. Burn him but praise his book. His loyalty to Germany seems to make him not want to apologize for choosing bad Germans. Even when they are wrong, they are right. He went to his death, not regretting or feeling remorse for anything. Boggles the mind. During the denazification, after the war and he came under investigation, it is said that, he had a nervous break down. Poor little man. Did he fear that he might be held accountable for his actions? How to square the contradiction is a philosophical issue in its own right. In some sense, Heidegger's own philosophy should be able to explain his failure, I would think.

This Isn't the actual version

@adaptercrash correct its still nonsense, not entirely clear, a lot of word salad with the ontology concepts. Aside from some of the words like being towards death wherever these possibilities aren't necessarily what we want, to be ahead of itself is to define a generation in a sense is what we can mean by being towards death.

I gotta side with Sattre. Viewing death as a primordial certainty is immaterial. The possibility of immortality, even theoretically, sees the entire foundation of Heidegger's arguments fall apart at the seams
