Thank you for this series on Heidegger's Being and Time. I look for videos on philosophical texts that demonstrate genuine understanding by their creators. These videos are hard to find because most people are not humble enough when reading these texts. I also like Victor Gijsber's videos on Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. Be well
Thank you for your message. Intellectual humility is so critical to making progress with these text rather than ramming them through preconceived notions. Not always easy to do, but something I aspire for. And thank you for brining my attention to Gijsbers' channel. I wasn't aware of it but glad I am now. In starting this series, I mostly took inspiration from Gregory Sadler's Half Hour Hegel series.

Totally intrigued. However for someone as unacquainted to the concept of phenomenology as myself, could yiu recommend some fundamental resource to initiate my understanding on the subject?
Thank you for the question. I think one good place to start is Dermot Moran's Introduction to Phenomenology, especially the introduction to this introduction. I have been told that Robert Sokolowski's Introduction to Phenomenology is also good, but I haven't read it. A bit more challenging but a relatively clear discussion is provided by Maurice Merleau-Ponty's Introduction in Phenomenology of Perception. One set of RUclips videos I like is by Mark Thorsby: ruclips.net/p/PLS8vfA_ckeuY6ayo3TlbFMnkPXIMMBXyw It can be difficulty even with these materials to understand phenomenology for at least two reasons: First, the history of phenomenology could very well be considered the history of rejections of Husserl. So there are many different kinds of phenomenology (descriptive, transcendental, existential, hermeneutic, etc.). Acquainting oneself with phenomenology will look different depending upon your entry point. Second, another difficulty is that understanding phenomenology entails understanding the history of philosophical thought leading up to it (especially Immanuel Kant but also Descartes). Some of the problems phenomenology is attempting to address are in response to these philosophical influences. So it is good to have at least a general sense of the history of philosophical thought to better contextualize what you learning. Beside that, its just patience and a lot of reading and re-reading.
