I’m writing an essay arguing for becoming vs being, and I thought to myself “oh let me use Heidegger as my supporting evidence”… once I picked up his novel being in time., I quickly realized that reading his text is extremely challenging 😂😂😂 ahhhhh. That’s what I get for trying to be an over achiever. Anyways!! - I remembered your chanel and am thankful for your contribution here.
I'm loving this Heidegger series. Looking forward to the next one. I just read Plato's Parmenides for the first time the other night...what a trip! I didn't know Plato could be so tough, but I persevered nonetheless. I feel like this gave some insight into the difficulty of what Heidegger was trying to communicate. I really enjoy hearing his take on the ancients and their differing conceptions of being. Thanks Dr. Sadler!
I liked the way you started the video. I know that is confusing sometimes. I wanted to ask you why are you reading from that particular edition of B&T? Also, is desire a mode of being-in-the-world? From what section of B&T are you reading?
Put all those interpretations aside for the "time being"...I hope I'm not that one who chuckled at the peculiarity of that phrase in light of a YT video on B&T
Perhaps. On the surface, it might seem to be. But consider this: if everyone involved in philosophy strives to "not be wrong", the chance that the ultimate truth will manifest itself will be higher. It's a dialectic approach. True, we will never live to see the ultimate result, but by striving to not be wrong we will be a tiny, minute part of the ultimate end goal. Even if that end goal will only be achieved in a few million years for now, or never.
Dr Sadler - are you aware there are some outtakes in this? Seems like something you would usually edit out
I think it made the video better, nice to see how he comes at his videos and how quickly he can get back on track.
it shows us the complexity of some concepts...and it also exemplifies how we can approach an idea from different vantage points.
Yep - when you're doing a lot of work under deadlines, that sort of thing that I do edit out most times will creep in
Keep up the momentum, we appreciate all the work you do.
Well, I certainly aim to - but you never know what might come long.

Well, to start with, Heidegger never wrote any novels

You're very welcome!

He works off of the Stanbaugh translation. (the one from the 90's)
He's in the introduction.

enjoying this. thank you.
you're welcome - glad to read it
Is it me or is half of classical philosophy 'we don't want to be wrong; so we have to do philosophy this way'?
Perhaps. On the surface, it might seem to be. But consider this: if everyone involved in philosophy strives to "not be wrong", the chance that the ultimate truth will manifest itself will be higher. It's a dialectic approach. True, we will never live to see the ultimate result, but by striving to not be wrong we will be a tiny, minute part of the ultimate end goal. Even if that end goal will only be achieved in a few million years for now, or never.
I've never had that impression about classical philosophy. That's sometimes the case in contemporary stuff though
