Heidegger's Definition of Time

NOTE: The perspectives expressed by this guest (and every other) don't necessarily mirror my own. There's a versicolored arrangement of people on TOE, each harboring distinct viewpoints, as part of my endeavor to understand the perspectives that exist.

You are a fucking gift dear Mr. Jaimungal. Keep enlightening the world! ❤

Good God! "Being in Time" was probably the most challenging book I have ever been talked to read and elaborate on. Even the professor was stumped half the time. I had googled breakdowns for dummies and this effort helped somewhat, but it didn't touch on the nuance of his ideas. I was reading pages 3-5 times just to grasp the question being posed.

Incredible book. Some say his work on metaphysics touched on every aspect of the field that was presented. Obviously, that's not true, entirely, but his work was robust, thorough and virtually impossible to debunk. Idk, maybe his work has since become outdated, but at one time it was the height of metaphysical thought.

It's so good. Because of this short I want to watch the whole podcast. Good job!

I never really thought of it as a new concept of time. It’s really just a phenomenological take on our experience of time. If you want to look at somebody who really change the way we think about time go back to Kant. I personally don’t think that Heidegger‘s real strength was giving us a new way to think about time but giving us the tools to overcome the Cartesian split between self and world, which was more or less a preoccupation of philosophers and less a preoccupation for others outside the field.

Uncovering "time" via entropy.

time allows you to see the movie trailers before the feature show thats probably it

[ruthgriffiths]

All one really needs to know about time is that ours, as human beings, is highly limited.

The clocking of increments of time is relative to whatever reference is the standard (sun, moon, radioactive decay quantity, waterwheel, etc.).

If 1000 people around the world sing a song together, they are physically existing at the same moment, no matter what their clocks say and no matter if there is sun light hitting what their gps indicates.

Time may be the ordinal structural spine of all structures realized between frames of reference. Some ordinals are defined as a horizon to emptiness, but others are defined on the boundary of mirrored, modular structures. Conway proved that these relativistic counts are all isomorphic, so it's nice to have some rigor to go along with the natural language poetics, not that one is more important than the other.

David Bowie taught me that time may change me, but I can't change time.

[SahilP]

Time is an emergent property. It seems like we need to define first what emergence is, the how, the why etc. behind it. Emergence gives rise to pretty much everything we see in our universe. Why is water wet when an individual water molecule is not wet? Why are we conscious when we are made up of individual stupid cells? Why are cells made up of dead constituents like proteins, but proteins are made up of atoms? If we can solve this, the riddle of time will get solved even before some of these other things get solved :-)

[oliviergoethals]

Time is the experience of relationship between the events in our though. Indeed connected with Being.

[MaximosTheStumbler]

To be more accurate, the "traditional" clock model of time is part in parcel with the whole arc of Cartesian modernity that hes critiquing. It would be appropriate to say that hes bringing our encounter with time to the fore and that clock time is instead the re-definition.

No time without memory or abstraction and these two things are matters information processing and retrieval so, I wonder if the trick to live longer is to simply store and process more information in more sophisticated ways. We should measure time in bits, not seconds.

[klausolekristiansen]

Time is nature's way of making it possible for everything not to happen at once.

[Eta_Carinae__]

I wonder if there's a way to mathematise the distinction, between folk-time and Heideggerian time, for physical purposes. Like, the moments picture sounds very much like the sort of thing you do traditional calculus on, but a Horizon of being kind of suggests a _being_ space which has a surface, and time is the boundary of a section of that surface-manifold. Kind of reminds me a little of Eric W.'s TOE, except just for time, and it's a bit more open-ended than a fibre, but being seems analagous to his observerse.

[Cristoforo]

Philosophically speaking, Time exists only in it’s experience (it’s passage).

Cosmological speaking, Time is possible only due to the expansion of Space. Space and Time are opposite sides of the same coin: you can’t have one without the other.

Existentially speaking, being alive allows us merely a glimpse, a snapshot, of the passage of Time.

[markantrobus]

My definition or rather picture of time is a termite mound. The reconfiguration of the material.

[dplj]

Time is a construct, a convenience. There is only physical decay and transmorphology. We wake. We interact. We sleep. We die.
