There was a series about Heidegger in The Guardian a few years back. Google for: Being and Time, part 1: Why Heidegger matters

Interesting view. This Heidegger man you've been on about has really piqued my interest and I didn't even see him in my into to philosophy textbook we were given in college year 1. Anticipating part 2.

That’s right Jeruel. You won’t learn this in school!

Interesting read! When will part two be published?

Paul Musso, PhD's avatar

In a few days. Most of it is written already, this just completely drained me to write. Need to recharge

Understandably so. I’m very keen to read it once it’s seen the light of day. All the best for the remaining writing!

Heidegger was late to the party, about 2500 hundred years late. The nature of being and time was understood by the wisdom traditions and Buddhism in particular.

This is reading ethical judgments into a metaphysical statement about the conditions of existence.

I am starting to wonder if you missed the main ideas of the article entirely and took two words out of context, ascribing them an ordinary colloquial meaning that is packed with psychological and emotional associations.
