Heidegger: Basic Concepts (GrundBegriffe)

[mazyar_]

What Heidegger did for Philosophy is akin to what the founders of Quantum Mechanics did for Physics; a redefinition of the ground of Being.
Thank you for the readings.

Thanks professor, this was a real treat.

Not only do I greatly appreciate Michael's thought, but I have become quite fond of him as a person...

Wow, fantastic! Heidegger said the essence of this Grund/Ground embraces itself into us. This is “initiation“ as the ancients would call it. This is an empowerment experience that all sacred wisdom traditions had at their core. Often, since Christianity has taken over has this been denied to us. But Heidegger, and now many others are reviving this “bedrock in the mountains of human history“. Let us all seek with all we got this “remembrance”.

"This is going to be interesting...OK?"
And so it is.
My hat is off, sir.
I wish I had paid you all the money I wasted on college tuition.

Your “let’s keep going” is a simple and charming trope in the talk. Good stuff

[budimirsimun]

thanks prof. Millerman, it was a real worthwhile introduction; not only for the English speaking students, but hopefuly so, for all german speaking and broader public... in order to fall in love or just to familiarized with Heideggerian school of tought, presented as a real "basic concept" and refreshment here, in our troubled worlds!

This series is absolutely fantastic! Love to see more like this with his lecture courses. Maybe the basic questions: Selected Problems of Logic.

Out of all the German language intellectuals I’ve tried to read: Jung; Heidegger; Jung; Kant; Hegel; Freud; Nietzsche, I’ve found Freud the easiest to read. Heidegger’s writing in Being and Time reminds me of Buddhism, did not finish that book though. So this lecture will be good for me.

I just discovered your channel and kept hearing Heideggers name in your Dugin videos so I figured this is a good place to start. I’m relatively familiar with Nietzsche and resonate with his work, but felt like he was missing the transcendent. I’m now discovering traditionalism and perennialism and it’s great.

Serendipitous timing on this as I just happened to be reading the Heidegger chapter in Strauss & Cropsey's History of Political Philosophy the other day. Thanks for posting.

Thank you, Michael; your presentation is very compelling and beautiful.

[goodtothinkwith]

Wonderful! I would love to take one of your courses. 😄

You should do a series on Ratzinger’s Introduction to Christianity, he cites Heidegger’s distinction of calculating vs reflective thinking and seems to take a similarly post-modern approach to Biblical studies

Edit: also, have you ever looked into Meister Eckhart’s use of the word Gründ in his sermons? Seems like Heidegger’s concept might be indebted in some way to him

[richardkelly]

Thanks for that Michael, I am new to all this and it feels perfect for me right now. In fact it has me wondering what were the Irish before they were taken over by the English, I mean what was the wisdom or understandings of life or living say two thousand years ago . Anyway this was very interesting thank you.

I wonder if Martin knew that the foundation of Greek culture—their “grund”, was the mystery schools. These mysteries such as Eleusis were purposely secret—not much spoken of. But they were held in high esteem and experienced by Plato and most of all citizens of Athens. As well as many cultures of the time and most likely reaching back deep into antiquity.

successful politics (the selling of ideologies) succeed by tapping into an priori environment of needs and wants and capitalizing on them. it only takes an “eclipse of reason” to buy in and you have to be solidly grounded and i think philosophically oriented to stay sober.

No doubt a difficult listen, but very rewarding

Thanks professor, But could you please allow the automatic subtitles on the video?
