Zohar Atkins on Heidegger

30 Oct 2021 - 19 Jul 2022

Interintellect seminar

Engagemetn vs Armchair

Subjectivists vs Objectivists

H wants out of that debate, by starting with Dasein. avoid subject/object dualism

The meaning of being is care (a sort of engaged cognition?)

Authenticity (eigenlichkeit, being proper to yourself)

not necessarily a bad-boy existentialist

H protested against being called an existentialist – its too subjectivist? Overstates personal agency

Levinas – doesn't care enough about others

inauthenticity, taking away anothers burden

Thrownness

Appropriation (how you deal with thrownness?)

Dwelling vs "Americanism" (building and fixing)

Ontological vs. ontic (former "things insofar as they are beings", latter appearances)

Truth as an event

concealment and revelation – focus on hiddenness –

methodological atheist – whatever we say about god says more about us...

death, demise, perishing...different things

3 ways of being:

ready to hand

present at hand (conscious speculation)

Dasein, the way you are (neither of the above)

Being in the World (2010) - IMDb

Mood –

Anxiety fundamental

Asked about embodiment, yay me

Husserl –> Heidegger –> Merleau-Ponty (had more on that)
