...it for the rest of your life. The rest of your life . Because you just don't use candy to mess with a woman's heart. It's in extremely bad taste. ANYWAY, on a much more disturbing note, Heidegger sent himself his usual "oh these are from all the women everywhere" baskets so he could brag about them, just like he always does. That adorable little cadet who was delivering the things went...

...of being it is," predominately in the form of "engaging in some activities rather than others, taking up some tasks rather than others, adopting certain goals rather than others, and so on" (34). Heidegger himself: "Dasein is always its possibility."‡ (c) The appeal to "possibility" here underscores how "Dasein's existence cannot be understood in the same terms that we use for other categories...
...a particular look to them. As such, our existence is a matter of concern for us, even when that concern amounts to nearly complete disregard (indifference towards one's own existence is something Heidegger would regard as a 'deficient' mode of concern)" (8). Now, seeing as it's strange, I attempt to think about or find an example of a person who operates under the "deficient mode of concern" above...
...that EVERYBODY fakes it until they make it. We're all frauds; those who are deemed the most authentic merely fake it the best. (B) In my free time, I've been reading a lot of secondary material on Heidegger‡, and I found something I read regarding Heidegger's phenomenological method possibly relevant to the what I try to do in personal essays like the one I wrote last night (perhaps it's what I...

It seems that Heidegger’s goals are explaining the interconnectedness of everything, allow a place for God, give room for free will and to give us the incite he has had. He falls short, however, in giving strong arguments and along the way he gives up causality and rationality which some, perhaps, aren’t ready to accept. Heidigger goes through ‘being a jug’ and comes to a list of characteristics...
questioning is the piety of thought. Martin Heidegger. The Question Concerning Technology. Reminds me of the meaning of life, universe, and everything - what's the question?
...as standing-reserve in accordance with the way it whows itself. That challenging gathers man into ordering. This gathering concentrates man upon ordering the actual as standing-reserve. Martin Heidegger. The Question Concerning Technology. Outside of the paper's context the quote sounds like total gibberish. Let's try to work through it. Basically, he says that technology pushes organization...
...around doing things in a familiar environment, I am essentially in the world. My access to the world and to things in it is not mediated by ideas or anything of that sort: I hear the 'creaking wagon', not 'pure sounds', I see trees, not ideas.
