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)
- Mood –
- Anxiety fundamental
- Asked about embodiment, yay me
- Husserl –> Heidegger –> Merleau-Ponty (had more on that)
- zolacon seminars...
