I hope you continue this "series". I'm not philosophically trained, but this speaks to me.

Landmark graduate here: this is insanely helpful. I also see parallels between Heidegger work and General Semantics.

GS is what sparked my interest with Heidegger in the first place. I come from the electrical engineering side, not philosophy. I like philosophy, but Heidegger was not really on my radar. I just got lucky and found Korzybski early on trying to understand fields and magnetics.

Phenomenal lecture!! Thanks to this, I think I am finally beginning to gain a grasp on heidegger.

Excellent. That is music to my ears

This is wonderful. I’m reading the book, taking my own notes and reflections and then watching your lecture

Thank you, this lecture has helped me a lot.

Heidegger…my man!

Interesting reading, much appreciated. “Everything goes, everything comes back; eternally rolls the wheel of Being. Everything dies, everything blooms again; eternally runs the year of Being. Everything breaks, everything is joined anew; eternally is built the same house of Being. Everything separates, everything greets itself again; eternally true to itself remains the ring of Being.” TSZ Nietzsche.

Heracleitus, I take it ;-)

Thank you Michael.

Thank you so much for these videos, as a non native English speaker I’m having trouble undertanding the whole being beings thing but I’ll work it out eventualy

You're good man! This makes perfect sense. Being is beings not beings is being.

Good work! 🙏 . One suggestion. Looks like you understand what Being is. Why not give us a spoiler alert on your interpretation of Being in every day English. It may be limiting but novices can use this formal indicator to broaden the meaning of Being for themselves.

Thanks Michael I think I bit off more than I can chew on this one , Being means to me exists . I am a welder and fifty seven with no education so only finding my way around Philosophy , very enjoyable though.

'i' am a human-being..who 'is' being him-self..'is' being the the isness of thysely or yourself.this 'is' just my opinion, folks.

But wasnt Heidegger a dwarf? Wasnt he a miner? Okay, I'm digging away the rock to find gems of philosophy. He dug high and low in his grey matter. But he got pretty low down in the end, didnt he? 😅

There is no "is" in Russian, language. Погода хорошая. Does it means that Russian can't get the philosophy?

@@millerman Thank you, the question was not "ripe", as I see it now after more listening, sorry, I came in with it. Your reading (there should be some term for this kind of performance in the field of educational communication) helps very much, especially in the case of Heidegger. After your "second division" my initial correct feeling gains knowledge. I could not read more than just a few sentences of any of his writing myself at a time.

"There is no IS in Russian," says a comment here. This would partially explain why Putin is not totally to blame. But please don't ask me to give a Western-style explanation. And is there not an Eastern aspect to Heidegger's definition of "Being"? Certainly, there is "an Eastern aspect" to Russia's history and mindset. Needless to say, Heidegger is on "the right side of history." IMHO
