Thanks for the series. Here's Google translate of that german text. Dunno how accurate but interesting to compare to the book's translation :)
The fact that fear is revealed in this way
as a basic state of mind is the most
unbiased evidence of everyday
interpretation and speech. It was previously
said that state of mind reveals “how
you feel”. When you are afraid you feel
“uncanny”. This initially expresses
the peculiar indeterminacy of what
existence is in fear: nothingness and
nowhere. But uncanniness also means
not being at home. In the first
phenomenal display of the basic constitution
of existence and the clarification
of the existential meaning of being-in
as distinct from the categorical meaning
of “inwardness,” being-in was defined
as dwelling in familiarity with . . .
This character of being-in was then
made more concretely visible through
the everyday publicness of the man,
which brought the calm self-assurance,
the self-evident “being at home” into
the average everydayness of existence
brings. Fear, on the other hand, brings
existence back from its decaying
absorption into the "world." Everyday
familiarity collapses. Dasein is isolated,
but as being-in-the-world. Being-in
comes into the existential “mode” of not
being at home. Nothing else is meant
by the talk of “>uncanniness.”

I understand why you didn't read all that German in the beginning, but it would have been amusing to hear. I love this book and your voice is really nice to listen to.

[@ShellMaky]

I was wondering if he would read the German too lol

[@annamopfeet]

This author has a way of really disturbing an eclectic. His nod to Chopin though. Love the voice and thank you again.

Your voice work throughout this series is superb. Not an easy book to audio perform as well. Stumbled onto your channel and glad for it. 👌
