Das Man & Inauthentic Dasein | Heidegger - Being and Time

Welcome to 'Back to the Texts Themselves,' a series on phenomenology. Today I examine Chapter 4, section 27 of Martin Heidegger's Being & Time.

In this video, I address the following questions:
1) What is distantiality?
2) What are the dimensions of the-they that make up publicness?
3) How are inauthenticity and authenticity distinguished?

This video single handedly helped me write my paper on Heidegger's authenticity. I can't thank you enough you explain topics very well!

Once again I find the true beauty in philosophy not in what is said but in how it is succinctly said. These idea closely match my own but the quality of the explanation is much better than mine could ever be Thanks for taking the time.
