How tf is he not more read by normies with anxiety?

>> No.21542990

Heidegger's unique terminology and frequent use of Latin and Greek terms drives people away from his works. Most of what would be of use to what you call "normies with anxiety" is covered by regular psychology and self-help books anyway.
People with common sense don't need to read Heidegger at all.

It's pretty hard, and not in the same way that some french authors can be hard in the sense you can take whatever you want from their obscurantism. Heidegger is hard but he's saying something quite specific and if you get him wrong you will come off as a pseud. This intimidates people. Also it's impossible to deny that his ideas do lead to something that could be called fascism when you actually read him. Even in his mainstream works like Being and Time, the whole last section is about the social and cultural implications of everything he talked in the book so far. Our commie libtard society doesn't want to deal with that.

the problem with that is that lead the concept of Being as something that can't be articulated, so you really don't "know" what Being is, you just circumvent the issue with all the things that "have" being, that's why Parmenides was fucked by the Sophist and that's why Plato needed to mix Heraclitus into the Parmenidean notion of being, to give it temporal articulation,so now you have a being that is static and a being that is mobile now a lot of people think Plato's actually failed, one of them being Aristotle, that dveeloped an onotlogy based on the logical conception of time, thus Being now has ultiple aspects, and moments, other philosophers then mixed with that the subject/object dichotomoy, substances, etc, and today the issue grew so much that most peopl just quit trying to do metaphysics and are into Hermeneutics, critical analisis, logic and more
so yeah, knowing what Being is, is a lot harder than citing a paragraph from Parmenides

I tried to get my masters degree educated friends who spent all day in our group chat complaining about how they feel they have no purpose in life to read philosophy. Not anything specific mind you, we never got that far because all 4 of them including one with a degree in fucking mathematics said that philosophy is a pretentious waste of time and everyone who reads it are dumb hippies (the others held comp sci, engineering and chem degrees). They basically conflated all philosophers with burnt out dead-heads. These people are the perfect representation of the new intellectual class in America and it's fucking disgusting.

>It is not man’s relationship with death that regulates his relationships with others, but the opposite: man’s relationships with others determine, directly or indirectly, the way he dies and the way he goes to meet his death. This is not only true of the man standing in front of an execution squad as the representative of some political faction, but of anyone who dies believing that he is going to meet his Maker, because his faith is also the faith of a community to which the dying man belongs. Moreover, the mortality of man entails the possibility of his violent death. It is precisely the fact of violent death, however, that determines the entire range of possible relationships between men: extreme friendship is demonstrated when I sacrifice my life for someone, and extreme enmity when I kill someone. All other relationships lie between these two extremes.

>These and other major concerns of social ontology are not even mentioned in passing in Being and Time. Its perspective is a specific and a limited one. Thus, despite its many readers and commentators, it has contributed very little to anthropological, social, or even philosophical studies; repetition, rephrasing, and the insertion of lofty-sounding utterances and terms do not constitute a contribution. I see nothing here which the well-informed reader could not find elsewhere, expressed better and more simply

so stop trying to articulate it. you don't have to. that's why reading heidegger is useless. it's a primary substance. it's understood through itself. articulating it would require predicating it of something and that's impossible. so stop trying. it's utterly pointless.

because he writes like shit and being and time only makes sense when you actually keep reading, the stuff he describes lacks unity until he reaches the part of Dasein that gives unity to the whole being-in-the-world, but he has to describe all the other stuff first because otherwise you end up having a non phenomenological description

I say that you can just directly experience and know Being but you say that’s inadequate because you haven’t said anything about it. But Heidegger says you can’t just experience Being and have to go through Dasein to understand it. The way I see it Heidegger doesn’t get any closer to knowledge of Being than I do. True that I can’t say “why” it exists but if Heidegger can then he’s just contradicted himself because causality is something that only exists in time and therefore part of dasein, not being. Being doesn’t have any reason to exist. If you directly experience color then you can still say where it comes from by analyzing the eyeball and light waves, so knowledge of color is not complete by pure experience. But Being is the ground zero where you can’t analyze any further. Knowledge of being IS complete by pure experience because it is prior to causality and therefore any further knowledge. If Being were like colors then I would read Heidegger to find out its true cause, but Being is not like colors.

You're basically right. The question is itself a trick question: we understand and 'answer' it by not trying to give it an answer, as it can't receive one nor merits it.

The answer to 'what is being?' is to go and jerk off to some novel form of pornography, preferably created by oneself through a thorough mediation upon the sexual groundings of Greek philosophy.

not really, i'm sayin ghtat Plato and the whole philosophical ssytem after him saw Parmenides lack of articulation as a problem to be solved(and the sophist as a problem to be exploited)

>But Heidegger says you can’t just experience Being and have to go through Dasein to understand it
where does he say that?
>causality is something that only exists in time and therefore part of dasein, not being
again what lead you to that conclusion? whre does Heidegger establish this dichotomy between causation and Being?
>Being doesn’t have any reason to exist.
the problem with that is with such an approach, being is just existence itself, so what you're saying is that existence exist, which is a tautology
>But Being is the ground zero where you can’t analyze any further
this take for granted a substantialism ontology, Heidegger is against those,so using them is question begging

dasein is the being that can ask: "what is Being?" or "what does "Being" (the word) mean?", and Heidegger's point is that for being capable of doing that he must already have some idea of what Being is or means. Dasein is always "experiencing" Being. In a similar way as for being able to ask "what is a color?" you must have already posses some idea of what a color is. You are missing the phenomenological aspect of Being and Time.

In what follows we shall be thinking concerning bunnies and carrots. This thinking about bunnies does not attempt to tell any particular bunny to go easy on the carrots, nor does thought about carrots single out any bunny that is to consume the carrot. The essence of the carrot is by no means any vegetable. The Ancient Greek word kᾰρῶτον is derived from the word kᾰ́ρᾱ meaning head or person—that is, cerebrum. The essence of the carrot is the cerebral, the head encapsulating the person. Modern philosophy starts with Descartes' proclamation of the Cogito Sum. Cogito sum purports the ek-sistence of an "I" that posits and thinks: it grounds the Being of the "I" on the cerebral. The ζῷον ἐγkέφᾰλον, animal cerebrale, is nothing but the bugs. The modern Cartesian-Newtonian bugman is challenged into presencing by the gathering-together of the cerebral, the carrot. But where there is the carrot, therein lies the saving power. Because the essence of the carrot is nothing bugs, the essential reflection upon the carrot must take place in a realm fundamentally different from it, in the form of a going-easy on the carrot. This easiness is exactly that of the easy ground, weicher Boden, on which the light spirits of Hölderlin's Schicksalslied tread. The essence of the carrot is brought into the light by the going-easy. The going-easy reveals the essence of the carrot as the cerebral; it brings it into unconcealment. It is therefore art, which brings into presencing the going-easy of the carrot by the bugs.
