We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
Heidegger was not only a Nazi, but also spawned a cottage industry around attempts to interpret the complete nonsense he wrote (much like Wittgenstein). Quite what people see in figures like these I'll never know...
ReplyDeleteFor example:
“...Dasein itself--and this means also its Being-in-the-world--gets its ontological understanding of itself in the first instance from those entities which it itself is not but which it encounters 'within' its world, and from the Being which they possess.”
― Martin Heidegger, Being and Time
Oh, but it's absolutely pellucid in the original German...
