Philosophical comment (in reference to about 4:20 in the episode):
While an ontology which claims to have knowledge of Being a priori is problematic, an ontology which restricts itself to the structure of finitude is possible. The way to finitude is itself finite and cannot claim finality. Tillich says this is why Heidegger concludes his analysis with the statement that the fight against Kant’s doctrine of the Ding-an-sich was a fight against the acknowledgement of the finitude of our human experience in knowing.

I had high hopes for your vid but as with most philosophy/theology, too many abstraction, too few examples, disappointing but I should have learned by now.
