Being and Time

[Onur]

Thanks Feliks. I took Gelven to my list (Others I already read too) for future reading.

I’m happy to hear your ideas on Heidegger.

I wasn’t aware of the fact that he is considered to get his ideas from Einstein. I can’t see a connection either.

Einstein, being a scientist and having a scientific approach, doesn’t discuss Being or being of Dasein.

Both guys have paradigm shifting ideas, Einstein is more popular whereas Heidegger is closer to out main interest as being human.

Hubert Dreyfus is well worth a read. One of the foremost English speaking scholars on Heidegger - Being-in-the-World: A Commentary on Heidegger's Being and Time, Division I.Cambridge, Massachusetts: MIT Press. ISBN 0-262-54056-8, ISBN 978-0-262-54056-8

You can also download Dreyfus's university lectures on Heidegger as MP3's. A little more chaotic because he is bouncing ideas around as he goes along but an excellent resource - https://nigelwarburton.typepad.com/vi...

Thanks Gerar,

I already read the commentary and listened to part of his lectures, they were really helpful

Mark Wrathall isn't bad as well but he's Dreyfus's student so you don't tend to get different views should that be what you are looking for. But now that Dreyfus is dead he's considered to have inherited the mantle.

The commentary of Herbert Dreyfus seems to me (so far) the most comprehensive analysis of Heidegger I've yet encountered. All of them are good, but he truly leaps down into the pit.

Ha --get this --four recent interviews/articles on Wittgenstein (all from same site) and although I'm halfway through I've yet to see even a mention of Martin Heidegger.

I guess Wittgenstein can be re-groomed as fashionable but Heidegger has to stay chopped liver thanks to the Nazi episode. Sheeesh.
