They could have talked more about his ideas about being and time and as why lots of people think he is king of philosophy for his revolutionary way of thinking about existetialism. Oh well, may be another day and documentary!

Intercourse? Discourse of course.

@Contextcatcher spam? WTF

@andrewweis This unilateral vid has more content then your short nuanced remark.

A quote of Nietzsche could think you more subtle:

535 TRUTH REQUIRES POWER. Truth in itself is no power at all, in spite of all that flattering rationalists are in the habit of saying to the contrary. Truth must either attract power to its side, or else side with power, for otherwise it will perish again and again. This has already been sufficiently demonstrated, and more than

sufficiently !

( "The Dawn of Day").

"Heidegger life and Philosophy" ends with Heidegger being called a 'bad man'. How does such shit fucking propaganda make it to the top of the search list?

Heidegger wasn't a man for mass events... But the revolutionary year of 1933 broke his cordon sanitair. Ernst Jüngers dream, inspired by Nietzsche, of "Total Mobilization" became more a reality: (published in 1931)

"In order to unfold energies of such magnitude, it no longer suffices to mobilize heavy industry; preparations for war are required in the very marrow, in the innermost cell of life"

Heideggers thinking about total "Being" had to feel a same fatal attraction for Hitlers 'wholeness'.

[Contextcatcher]

"Of that far deeper and most special motive force of history, the desire of men to rise into a higher type of animal, in to the mass, and to lose themselves in it completely as to forget that one man ever existed, they had no idea. For they were educated men, and education is in itself a cordon sanitaire for the individual against the mass in his own soul".

From Canetti's novel "Auto da Fe". Published in 1935... original it is called in German "Die Blendung"..in English blindness..

@zarakhast I learned understanding Kafka after reading the works of Elias Canetti. Canetti wrote in short what Kafka felt: "commands are older than speech". What Hannah Arendt called banal was for Chemist Canetti an old quest. The quest of mass: the intense ways individuals forming crowds. Heidegger called anonymous crowd 'they: the idle talkers'. 1933 was crucial year for idle mass events: Heidegger had the urge for being a part of this whole..a convinced crowd can also command an indivdual.

@Contextc You'll have to expand a bit before I might have a chance of understanding you, or to put what you're saying into different words. I realise that you're drawing a distinction between intentionality and intensionality but I'm afraid I've forgotten the distinction. I'll look it up. I haven't studied Kafka, though I would have liked to. He's a very difficult author. I appreciate his paranoia - I share it with him ! Your reading of Heidegger, I sense, is secondary to your other interests ?

[Contextcatcher]

@zarakhast Husserl set focus on intenTionality....the most important property of consciousness....more in abstract way. Heidegger raised the question, sure in a genius way, of meaning of Being. But Kafka showed in his intenSe way the intentionality of daily life. The way Kafka used the word 'command' is special: not only in a moral sociological and psychological way, but in a metaphysic sense. Heidegger didn't recognized this as a crucial theme. Meaning of Being: temporality..pulse..command..
