Didn’t Heidegger hate aesthetics or aestheticism?

Something like that

I barely understand Heidegger most of the time

he hated modern aesthetics

thought they were just a follow on from subjectivism established by the subject/object spilt

Fair enough

you have to understand that Heidegger is trying to bring back a pre-Socratic understanding of truth

Descartes is a disliked figure to say the least

There’s something about uprooting 2200 years of philosophy and reconstructing a new one from the ground up that’s a little pretentious, especially if you have to create a thousand new words to go along with it and Heidegger is a difficult writer

ree
he didn't create a thousand new words he just correctly translated them

but yes he did understand the gravity of his position

he was never overly disrespectful to the thinkers that came before him

Heidegger is a very difficult writer to understand, but it isn't for his word usage but the subjects he is trying to speak on

It would have helped if he used the correct terms for things

?

what things and what terms

also
@clossington in Heidegger's own view his project was not to establish a "new" philosophy from the ground up, he saw it more in line with reviving the pre-socratic traditional, trying to understand it and get back to it thus escaping the pitfalls he saw in the western tradition since Plato

Help me understand the pre-Socratic tradition

He rejected idealism and forms in favor of something like thrown-ness and essentialism

I really don’t know or understand Heidegger

That was just a joke riffing on your reeee I know very little about Heidegger but saying he is trying to revive a pre Socratic tradition makes him seem like the kind of guy who would build a trireme to fight an aircraft carrier

Pull a Civ 4 spearman vs tank

@clossington Thrownness really belongs to being-there as a state-of-being-in-the-world, it is a phenomenological description of a state of being, so it doesn't really directly relate to idealism as a polar opposite. Safe to say Heidegger's relationship with idealism wouldn't be as simple as saying that he outright rejects it.

As to giving you a rundown on Heidegger's view of the pre-socratic tradition, or lack thereof since it was a very loose unity of thinkers, that would take more time and space then I should probably put in this channel.

I could DM you a mini essay I guess

Sure

Links would be nice

>internally screaming

heyo

not quite

Christians only

Intelligence isn't the issue

God is

Or God can tell you

I mean, I wouldn't expect Wakanda

Different groups are attracted to different sins, in my view (on average). Some groups might be more attracted to violent sins, while others are more subtle

Homogeny does help societal integrity, don't get me wrong

But I'd rather live with black christians than white pagans
