In this episode I engage in an extra-long two-hour examination of the basic philosophy of Martin Heidegger, as described in Michael Inwood's study, Heidegger. Inwood focuses primarily on Heidegger's magnum opus, Being and Time. In this episode I pay particular attention to Heidegger's discussion of the state of being he calls 'ready-to-hand,' as well as authenticity and being-toward-death.

What if I told you one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century wasn't just a Nazi sympathizer, but that fascism was fundamental to his entire philosophical project? In this profound conversation with Colin Bodayle, doctoral student in philosophy at Villanova University, we peel back the sanitized layers of Martin Heidegger's legacy to reveal the uncomfortable truth behind his continued influence.The mystification around Heidegger's Nazism represents one of academia's most persistent blind spots. While other Nazi intellectuals like Carl Schmitt are acknowledged for what they were, Heidegger enjoys special treatment. Colin reveals how Heidegger's manuscripts were likely edited to remove explicitly fascist content, creating a historical deception that continues to this day.Most importantly, we explore how Heidegger's core philosophical concepts—authenticity, Dasein, and his critique of technology—directly support his fascist worldview. His concept of authenticity isn't about individual self-creation but about embracing one's heritage and historical destiny as part of a "folk." His subjective idealism dissolves the possibility of objective truth in favor of interpretation, creating a philosophical framework perfectly aligned with fascist thought.The conversation takes fascinating detours through German idealism, Nietzsche's reactionary politics, and the strange appropriation of Heideggerian concepts by both the contemporary left and far-right figures like Alexander Dugin. We also discuss how continental philosophy's language games often obscure the political implications embedded in philosophical concepts.Rather than suggesting we abandon these thinkers entirely, this conversation invites critical engagement. As Colin notes, "Heidegger can teach you things about being human—he wasn't wrong about everything." But we must approach his work with our eyes wide open to its political foundations.If you've ever grappled with continental philosophy, critical theory, or the political dimensions of abstract thought, this episode offers a masterclass in intellectual clarity and honest critique.Send us a text Musis by Bitterlake, Used with Permission, all rights to BitterlakeSupport the showCrew:Host: C.

In the early 1900s, Edmund Husserl founded a new school of philosophy called phenomenology. This new approach attempted to discard previous philosophical assumptions and explore the direct conscious experience of the human being. Husserl's student, Martin Heidegger, furthered the project with his book "Being and Time," which had a massive impact on both left- and right-wing philosophy while influencing many other fields such as medicine and business. Heidegger scholar Michael Millerman joins me to give an overview of the movement and its impact.

In der heutigen Folge begrüßen wir die renommierten Gäste Prof. Dr. Esel und Dr. Teddy zur Diskussion über das faszinierende deutsche Wort "Zeug" und seine besondere Stellung in Sprache und Denken. Das Wort "Zeug" ist ein sprachliches Phänomen, das sowohl linguistisch als auch philosophisch bemerkenswerte Eigenschaften aufweist. Unsere Experten werden diese Besonderheiten aus ihren jeweiligen Fachperspektiven beleuchten. Das Wort "Zeug" nimmt eine besondere ontologische Stellung ein. Es charakterisiert Gegenstände primär durch ihre Funktionalität und Zweckhaftigkeit, nicht durch ihre bloße Existenz. Martin Heidegger hat diesen Aspekt in "Sein und Zeit" aufgegriffen und "Zeug" als fundamentale Kategorie des menschlichen In-der-Welt-Seins beschrieben. Für Heidegger existiert "Zeug" stets im Modus des "um-zu" – es steht in einem Verweisungszusammenhang und erhält seine Bedeutung durch seinen Gebrauch und seine Einbettung in menschliche Praktiken. In diesem Sinne repräsentiert "Zeug" nicht nur materielle Objekte, sondern offenbart auch unsere Art, die Welt zu erschließen und in ihr zu handeln. Aus linguistischer Perspektive besticht "Zeug" durch seine außergewöhnliche Wortbildungskraft. Als Grundwort in Komposita transformiert es das jeweilige Bestimmungswort in eine funktionale oder kollektive Kategorie. Die semantische Struktur folgt dabei verschiedenen Mustern: Es kann Substantive in Sammelbezeichnungen verwandeln, Verbstämme in tätigkeitsbezogene Kollektiva umformen oder in Verbindung mit Adjektiven wertende Kategorisierungen schaffen. Bemerkenswert ist die semantische Flexibilität des Wortes, die von der neutralen Sammelbedeutung bis zur starken Bedeutungsverengung in spezifischen Komposita reicht. Diese Wortbildungsdynamik macht "Zeug" zu einem linguistischen Sonderfall, der die besondere Fähigkeit der deutschen Sprache zur Kategorisierung widerspiegelt. Im Anschluss an die Einführung in dieser Episode diskutieren Prof. Dr. Esel und Dr. Teddy: Die etymologischen Wurzeln des Wortes "Zeug" Die verschiedenen Komposita-Kategorien und ihre Bedeutungsfelder Die philosophischen Implikationen für unser Verständnis von Alltagsgegenständen Kulturspezifische Aspekte des "Zeug"-Konzepts im Vergleich zu anderen Sprachen Inspiration: https://www.instagram.com/share/BAb3GwIFcJ

Subscriber-only episodeThis is my first in a series devoted to the ways in which technology and nihilism have been understood and intertwined in the Western philosophical tradition.  It turns out that what's at issue is something much deeper than simply the historical emergence of these things we call 'technology' and 'nihilism,' taking us to the very core of what is meant by philosophy itself.  Beginning with two of the greatest thinkers on the subject closest to us, we see this from the writings of Martin Heidegger and Ernst Jünger.  In this discussion I give a broad survey of the topic by introducing everything that comes tumbling out when one closely examines the texts that emerged from the correspondence between Heidegger and Ernst Jünge, with particular emphasis upon the all-important image of the forest for both in understanding what is even meant by the words 'technology,' 'nihilism,' and, rather surprisingly, 'history' as philosophical concepts.  That said, I want to emphasize that everything I'm describing here and presenting in the discussion will receive much more clarification in the subsequent discussions of this series which, in many ways, can be understood as the most relevant lens through which one understands the entire tradition of Western Philosophy.

Subscriber-only episodeHere I speak on the question of why it's so important to read Aristotle and, in particular, his Nicomachean Ethics. In order to emphasize the relevance, I approach reading Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics from its incredibly fascinating relationship to Martin Heidegger's masterpiece Being & Time. This approach has the added benefit of bringing to the foreground of discussion the possibility of ethics and political philosophy within the very controversial subject of Heidegger and politics.

Vi blickar ut mot världen och frågar oss var kulturen hamnar under krig och konflikter. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. INTERVJUFör befolkningen i Gaza innebär vapenvilan en lättnad efter 15 månaders krig och enorm förödelse. Men vad händer nu? Var ska man börja? Vår reporter Helene Alm fick tag på den palestinska författaren Yousri AlGhoul som bor i norra Gaza, och bad honom sätta ord på tillståndet. Ett samtal om var kulturen och skrivandet hamnar i ett läge där han samtidigt ska försöka återskapa ett nytt hem till sin familj, i ruinerna av det gamla.REPORTAGEVi får även höra del två av Fredrik Wadströms reportageserie om kulturlivet i Ukraina i skuggan av kriget. Denna gång om hur kulturen har mobiliserat sig både som en del av motståndet och för att skapa någon form av normalitet och bearbetningsyta för resten av samhället. Och det börjar på en jazzklubb i centrala Kiev där en insamling pågår till stöd för militärförbandet som en musikerkamrat från klubben, numera tillhör. SAMTALFörfattaren Kenneth Hermele gästar P1 Kultur för att prata om sin nya bok ”Den vilda rättvisan, Judisk hämnd efter förintelsen”. Där han bland annat ställer sig frågor ”var går gränsen för hämnden – och vem har rätt att utkräva den? Och hur?”. En bok som berör flera aktualiteter i världen just nu. ESSÄI den fjärde och avslutade delen i OBS serie ”Poesi efter Auschwitz” hör vi om den mest uppmärksammade av de poeter som hade Förintelsen som övergripande tema: Paul Celan. Och det handlar om en enskild dikt som tar avstamp i ett mycket speciellt möte, nämligen det mellan Celan och Martin Heidegger. Författaren och skribenten Mikael van Reis berättar om när den överlevande poeten mötte den beundrade filosofen som aldrig bad om ursäkt för sin tid som nazist.Programledare: Lisa WallProducent: Saman Bakhtiari

Den ene kallas 1900-talets största poet, den andre för samma sekels största filosof. Den ena var överlevare, den andra nazist. Mikel van Reis skildrar mötet mellan Paul Celan och Martin Heidegger. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Ursprungligen publiceras 2017-11-02.Det är augusti 1948 i Paris och den 27-årige, rumänskfödde poeten som just tagit sig det nya namnet Paul Celan skriver till en anhörig i Israel. Han är just kommen till staden och ser nu en oerhörd uppgift framför sig.Han skriver i brevet: ”Kanske är jag en av de sista i Europa som måste leva den judiska andlighetens öde till sitt slut.” Europa ligger i ruiner och de förföljda som överlevt Förintelsen irrar hemlöst mot en marginal av fortsatt liv. Förintelsen i Rumänien var skoningslös. 400 000 människor mördades.Vad kan poesin säga om detta tillstånd i tiden? Eller mer precist – hur skall Celan som överlevande poet kunna ge den bråddjupa tidserfarenheten språkets maximalt förtätade rymd av dröm och vaka? Det är vad han gör de kommande åren fram till sin död 1970. Han är rumänsk jude, han skriver på tyska men lever sitt författande liv i Paris. I åtta diktsamlingar ger han – som ingen annan - poesin en svindlande komplexitet med djupa filosofiska förgreningar.Två decennier senare. Det är en mulen sommardag 1967 i södra Tyskland, närmare bestämt i universitetsstaden Freiburg. Tidens störste tänkare skall då möta tidens störste poet. Filosofen heter Martin Heidegger och poeten var alltså Paul Celan.Den förste en urtysk med nazistiskt bagage och den andre en överlevande jude från den tyskspråkiga periferin. Heidegger hade varit nazistisk universitetsrektor 1933 och sedan partimedlem under tolv år.De två är varandras motsatser och ändå fanns här ömsesidiga band vad gäller tänkandet kring filosofi och poesi. Grundades filosofin i poesins heliga uttryck eller var denna grund nu i själva verket en avgrund? Det senare blev Celans insikt. Det poetiska ordet uppenbarade inte Varats väsen utan människans bräcklighet och ändlighet. Den store tyske anden hade ju legitimerat de allra värsta demonerna.Det hela började 1951 – samma år som Heidegger tagits i nåder i Freiburg som ”avnazifierad”. Celan möter då den österrikiska poeten Ingeborg Bachmann som just disputerat på en avhandling om Heidegger. En förälskelse tar fart men som skall bli en olycklig kärlekssaga.Med den förälskelsen börjar Celan att läsa Heideggers verk, bok efter bok. Under femtiotalet får han själv sin poesi utgiven i Tyskland och han prisas högt av det litterära etablissemanget.Poeten och filosofen börjar växla brev och böcker, men efter hand blir Celans relation till Heidegger alltmer inflammerad. Han beundrar filosofens verk, men fylls av agg mot hans obekymrade medlöperi. Den store tyske anden hade ju legitimerat de allra värsta demonerna. Nu var han knäpptyst om sin nazism.Skall de träffas? Så sker alltså 1967. Den 24 juli läser Celan sin poesi för auditoriet på Freiburgs universitet. Det är mer än tusen personer i publiken och Heidegger sitter på främsta raden. Det är i samma sal där Heidegger hade hållit sitt beryktade rektorstal 1933.Situationen är mycket spänd. Celan meddelar bryskt att han inte vill fotograferas med den hövlige Heidegger. Poeten hade i flera år härjats av paranoia och skarpa humörsvängningar efter en förtalskampanj i tysk press. Celan såg övervintrande nazister i alla riktningar.Till saken hör även att Celan var tillfälligtvis utskriven från en psykiatrisk klinik i Paris. I januari samma år hade han försökt beröva sig livet med en kniv i bröstet.Efter läsningen i Freiburg inviterar Heidegger Celan till sin skidstuga i Todtnauberg i närliggande Schwarzwald. Där kunde de ju promenera tillsammans - och samtala. Celan tackar överraskande nog ja och dagen efter – den 25 juli – far de i väg i bil. Vädret är regntungt.Vad som nu händer är mycket diskuterat. De flesta beskriver mötet som en stor besvikelse för Celan.Kunde inte Heidegger fatta pennan och varna för nazismen?De når den lilla skidstugan med brunnen med den berömda åttkantiga stjärntärningen. De dricker brunn och går in. Celan skriver i gästboken följande rader: ”In i gästboken med blicken på brunnsstjärnan, med förhoppning om ett kommande ord i hjärtat. Den 25 juli 1967. Paul Celan.”Han väntade sig en förklaring av Heidegger för det nazistiska medlöperiet, men de orden kom aldrig över läpparna. Hade filosofen slutit sig inne i självtillräcklighet? Var han en stor filosof men en liten människa? En jättelik dvärg, som Edgar Morin kallade honom.De tar en promenad. De två skall bege sig till en högmosse. De går på kavelstigar över våtmarker. Den botaniskt bildade Celan noterar växtligheten noga, men regnet får dem att stanna och till slut återvända. De når inte fram.Celan är djupt missräknad, men i bilen tillbaka till Freiburg talar han klarspråk med den så tystlåtne filosofen. Kunde inte Heidegger fatta pennan och varna för nazismen? Det frågar han lite senare i ett brev till hustrun Gisèle. Celan reser hem från Freiburg till Paris och psykiatrin där. Han skriver en ordknapp dikt med titeln Todtnauberg. Var den ett uttryck för hans djupa besvikelse? Mötet som icke-möte?Kanske är det inte hela bilden. Somliga vittnar om Celans muntra lättnad efter mötet. Som att en spänning löstes upp. Jag tror själv att den dikten uttrycker den djupa klyvnaden mellan beundran och aversion.ordet för ordet – ”das Wort” – är infogat i diktens exakta hjärtpunkt. Ordet om förlåtelse som inte kom.Celan kan inte ge upp Heidegger, han måste replikera på filosofen, men också uttrycka en förhoppning. I dikten läser vi orden från gästboken om brunnen med stjärntärningen och förhoppningen om ”en tänkandes kommande ord i hjärtat”.I hans dikt är orden som gruvgångar. Vi anar att den vandrande poeten befinner sig mellan bergets underjord och himlens regn. Poeten kan floran – ”Arnika, Augentrost”. Arnika och ögontröst var läkeörter. För den sårade Celan? Den första har en gul fläck i kalken, som en judefläck. Den senare vidrör ett ungdomsminne från arbetslägren i Rumänien 1942. Jag noterar att ordet för ordet – ”das Wort” – är infogat i diktens exakta hjärtpunkt. Ordet om förlåtelse som inte kom.Dikten slutar med regn, mycket regn och en känsla av underjord och dolda döda. Namnet på blomman orchis liknar Orkus, romarnas namn för underjorden. Todtnauberg blir här också Dödsberget. Ljuset blev för Paul Celan också ett kallt och nattligt strålkastarljus.Det är dock inte sista mötet. Celan återvänder faktiskt till Freiburg och Heidegger följande år – sommaren 1968. De två gör om sin bergsvandring till högmossen. Men vad som då passerar vet vi ingenting om.När poeten och filosofen möts ytterligare två år senare vid ett Hölderlinjubileum är Celans själsliga tillstånd akut. Poeten brusar upp i vrede över filosofen. Och filosofen säger sedan: ”Han är sjuk – hjälplöst”. En månad senare dränker sig Celan i Seine i Paris. Troligen den 20 april 1970.Man kan då åter betänka den uppgift som han förelade sig i augusti 1948 i ett brev till en anhörig i Israel. Den oerhörda uppgiften som nu ändade djupt tragiskt: ”Kanske är jag en av de sista i Europa som måste leva den judiska andlighetens öde till sitt slut.”Hur kan den djupa skillnaden mellan filosofen och poeten då läsas? Det kan handla om ljuset. Ett nyckelbegrepp hos Heidegger är ”Lichtung” som betyder glänta, en solljus plats i skogen där Varat uppenbaras för den vandrande.Celan vänder på begreppet i sin boktitel "Lichtzwang", ljustvång. Postumt utgiven 1970 med bland annat dikten Todtnauberg. Ljustvånget som motsatsen till solljuset. Ljuset blev för Paul Celan också ett kallt och nattligt strålkastarljus. Lägerljuset.Mikael van Reis, litteraturvetare, författare och skribent

Van Prometheus tot ChatGPT: Hoe AI ons denken vormgeeftIn deze aflevering maken we een reis door de geschiedenis van kunstmatige intelligentie, van de mythische verhalen rond Prometheus tot de baanbrekende technologische mijlpalen van vandaag. We onderzoeken hoe AI ons denken en handelen beïnvloedt, maar ook welke vragen en uitdagingen deze technologie stelt aan opvoeding, onderwijs en de samenleving.We duiken in de visie van Alan Turing, die met zijn beroemde Turing-test vroeg of een machine ooit menselijk denkvermogen zou kunnen evenaren. We bespreken Thomas Hobbes, die in de 17e eeuw al filosofeerde over het brein als een mechanisch systeem, vergelijkbaar met de algoritmen die onze huidige technologie aandrijven. En we gaan in op René Descartes, die lichaam en geest scheidde en ons leerde dat complexe systemen — of het nu een mens of een machine is — begrepen kunnen worden door ze te ontleden in logische, gestructureerde stappen.Daarnaast reflecteren we op de denkers Martin Heidegger en Cornelis Verhoeven, die ons herinneren aan de keerzijde van technologische vooruitgang. Heidegger waarschuwde dat techniek ons kan vervreemden van wat ons mens maakt, terwijl Verhoeven pleitte voor verwondering en stilte in een wereld die steeds meer gericht is op maakbaarheid en meetbaarheid. Hoe verhouden we ons tot de snel evoluerende technologie zonder onze menselijkheid te verliezen? Deze vragen staan centraal in deze aflevering, waarin we verleden, heden en toekomst verbinden in een zoektocht naar antwoorden.

In this episode, I team up with our producer, Josh Gilbert, for an experimental format inspired by our podcast planning sessions, where Josh often brings up intriguing questions he's gathered while editing. Together, we explore how our initial infatuation with ideas can grow into a deeper understanding and mastery and how our personal biases inevitably shape our philosophical inquiries.   We discuss the significance of philosophy in making sense of existence, agency, and how we apply ideas in everyday life. We talk about the value of curiosity and the ongoing journey of learning across the humanities, emphasizing the need to engage with philosophical texts critically and passionately. Josh pressed me on the distinction between plausibility and intensity of faith commitments, the existential register's importance in understanding religious identity, and how modern empiricism and cultural narratives influence individual agency.   Throughout the conversation, we weave in insights from thinkers like Alfred North Whitehead, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Søren Kierkegaard, Paul Tillich, Karl Barth, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, J.R.R. Tolkien, Martin Heidegger, Philip Goff, and Charles Taylor.

This is my introductory discussion of Aristotle's Physics for the Technology & Nihilism series on my website (AthensCorner.com).I introduce the importance of Aristotle's Physics by way of its enormous importance for Martin Heidegger, particularly his claim that Aristotle's Physics constitutes the foundation and wellspring of the entirety of the Western philosophical tradition. Through a very meticulous reading of the introductory section of Aristotle's Physics, I emphasize the significance of "nature [phusis]," "logos," and "art [techne]" for the thought of both Aristotle and Heidegger and what we come to know as "science" and "technology."  Along the way, I also discuss the significance of Descartes, Nietzsche, and the appearance of nihilism in Western civilization from the emphatically philosophical concepts at hand which Heidegger understands as the pre-conditions for why an urgent return to the thought of Aristotle is required of us in Postmodernity.

I'm 54 Years Old, and I Believe in Santa: A Reflection on Faith, Imagination, and the Spirit of ChristmasAt 54, when life yourself tethered to realism, routine, and rationality, I stand unashamed in saying that I believe in Santa. Not as a literal man sliding down chimneys but as a symbol, an idea, and perhaps even something more profound than the myth. Believing in Santa at this stage in life is an act of philosophical defiance—a conscious decision to keep faith in things unseen, embrace wonder, and acknowledge the value of imagination in a world too often consumed by cold facts.Faith Beyond the EmpiricalThe modern world urges us to reject what cannot be measured. It insists on what the philosopher Søren Kierkegaard called objectivity—truths dictated by science, reason, and evidence. And yet, I find that some truths transcend the measurable. Believing in Santa, in my mind, falls into the realm of what Kierkegaard called the leap of faith. It's about holding onto something more than what logic can explain—a belief in kindness, generosity, and joy. It is not about whether Santa Claus exists materialistically but whether we can live as though the principles he represents are real.Faith in Santa is a deliberate resistance against cynicism, an acknowledgment that the most valuable things in life—love, hope, joy—often elude the rigid structures of reason.The Necessity of ImaginationAs children, we are encouraged to imagine freely and explore worlds where reindeer fly and elves make toys. But as we grow old, imagination often falls by the wayside, crowded out by schedules, responsibilities, and the so-called serious matters of life. Yet imagination, as philosophers like Jean-Paul Sartre noted, is not a childish indulgence—it is an essential part of our freedom. Imagination allows us to conceive of what does not yet exist, dream of worlds better than our own, and engage with life's infinite possibilities.Believing in Santa, even at 54, is my way of keeping that imaginative spark alive. It's a reminder that life can be more than just predictable outcomes and measurable gains. It's permission to dream, even as we face the sometimes harsh realities of the world. Imagination is not escapism—it's a form of resistance, a way to say that the magic of life remains, even in adulthood.Santa as a Metaphor for KindnessSanta embodies the idea that goodness does not need an audience. He works in secret, expecting no recognition or reward. In this way, Santa reflects Immanuel Kant's notion of goodwill, where actions are judged not by their outcomes but by the purity of intention behind them. Santa's real or symbolic gifts remind us that kindness has intrinsic value, regardless of whether it is acknowledged.Believing in Santa means believing that altruism, though often hidden, is still possible. It is an invitation to embrace what Martin Heidegger might call being-for-others, a way of being that considers the welfare of others as inherently tied to our own. In a world where self-interest often dominates, Santa's spirit reminds us that there is still room for selflessness and that joy multiplies when shared.Christmas and the Time to Be Childlike AgainThere is a distinction between being childish and being childlike. The former implies immaturity, while the latter suggests an openness to wonder and delight. At its core, Christmas invites us to rediscover that childlike spirit—a time to believe in miracles, however small, and to allow ourselves to be moved by beauty and generosity. As C.S. Lewis said, "When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of being childish."At 54, believing in Santa means embracing that childlike sense of joy without apology. It means not being afraid to celebrate, to give without expecting anything in return, and to see magic in the mundane. It's a reminder that some of the most profound experiences in life—laughter, love, connection—require us to let go of our guarded selves and allow joy to seep in.The Spirit of Christmas: A Philosophy of HopeUltimately, my belief in Santa is not about the man in the red suit. It is about hope. The hope that light can be found even in the darkest moments. Christmas, with all its stories and symbols, is a reminder that joy is possible, even when life feels heavy. It is a call to believe in things that cannot be proven but can be felt—a nudge to live as though the world is still filled with wonder.To believe in Santa at 54 is to resist the temptation to become jaded. It is a conscious choice to say that life, even in its complexity, still holds room for magic. And perhaps that is the real gift of Santa—reminding us, year after year, that joy is not a relic of childhood but something we carry with us, if only we dare to believe.So yes, at 54, I believe in Santa. And in doing so, I believe in kindness, imagination, generosity, and hope. Life is better when we allow ourselves to be enchanted by it, even if only for a season. And that, to me, is the true spirit of Christmas.From mine to yours, have a wonderful and blessed Christmas, happy holidays, and a great New Year! This is a public episode.

Here, we finally deliver on our longstanding threat to do an episode all about influential philosopher Martin Heidegger. We give him credit where it's due: he has a compelling account of the conditions for meaningful existence along with a resonant critique of the alienation endemic to modern society, and is responsible for making important concepts like temporality, finitude, language and historicity into core themes of 20th century continental philosophy. Of course, he's also an unrepentant Nazi, animated by fascist ideas like originary authenticity and racial destiny, an enemy of conceptual thinking in favor of obscurantist poetics, and an idealist loser who wants us to turn away from actual meaningful things here and now so we can begin to approach the fateful question of the meaning of Being as such.

Vor 50 Jahren wurde auch in Deutschland klar, dass Schweden - einrichtungstechnisch - nicht nur für „schwedische Gardinen“ gut ist. Denn vor 50 Jahren wurde die erste deutsche IKEA-Filiale eröffnet. Und seitdem hat der Möbelriese aus dem Norden viele von uns im Sturm erobert. Ein IKEA-Regal zusammenzubauen gehört für viele inzwischen eindeutig zu den 100 Dingen, die man getan haben sollte, bevor man stirbt. Oder bevor man mit dem selbsterrichteten Möbelstück zusammenbricht. Denn so wie man geschraubt hat, so bettet man sich. Aber IKEA ist nicht alles und ebenso wenig ist ohne IKEA alles Nichts. Nicht nur weil IKEA im Verdacht steht, vor dem Bau seiner Möbel Raubbau an Wäldern zu betreiben, sondern auch weil sich Sessel und Sofa, Hocker und Stuhl, Schrank und Kommode, Tisch und Bett auf unzählige Arten herstellen, gestalten und gruppieren lassen. Und weil wir Menschen in all unserer Vielfalt uns nicht zuletzt in unseren Möbeln widerspiegeln. Was also verrät unsere Einrichtung darüber, wie wir selbst uns im Leben eingerichtet haben?

Steckt hinter dem Wunsch nach einem schönen Zuhause ein tief verankerter Drang nach einem Rückzugs- und Reflexionsort? Versuchen wir, uns mit einem schönen Zuhause von einer Außenwelt abzuschotten, die mehr Unsicherheit als Sicherheit bietet? Darüber diskutieren Denise M'Baye und Sebastian Friedrich mit dem Philosophen und Journalisten Florian Rötzer. Sie hinterfragen das Konzept der Verwurzelung bei Martin Heidegger und beschäftigen sich mit Vilém Flusser, der das Wohnen gedanklich vom festen Boden entkoppelt hat.

“Dark and cheerless is the morn unaccompanied by thee; joyless is the day's return till thy mercy's beams I see, till they inward light impart, glad my eyes and warm my heart.”   Why practice religion? Last week a New York Times journalist asked me a question I frequently hear from my neighbors. “Is religion dying out?” People raising this topic often cite statistics showing a decline in religious participation. Indeed more people went to church in the 1950's and 1960's than at any other time in our country's history. We were a much less diverse country in those days and we were facing the aftermath of the most destructive war in all history. Perhaps there is an ebb and flow when it comes to expressing our spirituality. I always answer by saying that human beings are spiritual beings and we always will be. We are not going to evolve or grow out of religion. We will never stop asking questions like “where did I come from? How should I dedicate my time and energy? What happens after we die?” We are symbolic creatures who depend on constructing meaning for our social lives and for our individual survival. Despair kills us. The twentieth century philosopher Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) calls humans “Dasein” or “being.” He means we are the being for whom being (that is, our very existence), is a problem.   Social scientists tell us that religious people are less depressed and lonely (they have more social connections). They are healthier and live longer. They report being happier. Columbia researcher Lisa Miller points out that children who have a positive active relationship to spirituality are 40% less likely to use and abuse substances, 60% less like to be depressed as teenagers and 80% less likely to have dangerous or unprotected sex.   This is probably not the reason to become religious. Religion is not about believing the unbelievable. At heart religions share something in common: the idea that you are not the center. Religions evolved with human beings who long for a connection to God and cannot be satisfied by anything else. I think we could spend a year talking about this but let me share two immediate responses to the question “why practice a religion,” one primarily from the head and the other from the heart.   1. Why religion? Because, “Be it life or death, we crave only reality.” Henry David Thoreau(1817-1862) wrote this in his book Walden in a section about our deep desire to fathom the depths of “opinion and prejudice, and tradition and delusion” so that we might reach the rock solid bottom “which we can call reality.” True religion involves opening to reality, becoming aware of the extraordinary mystery both of the world and our inner life.   Ed Yong wrote one of my favorite new books. It is called An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms around us. He begins by asking the reader to imagine an elephant in a room, not a metaphorical “weighty issue” sort of elephant but an actual elephant in a room the size of a high school gymnasium. Now imagine a mouse surrying in with a robin hopping along beside it. An owl sits on a beam and a bat hangs from the ceiling. A rattlesnake slithers on the floor. A spider rests in its web with a mosquito and a bumblebee sitting on a potted sunflower… and a woman named Rebecca who loves animals. They are all in the same room, but they have entirely different sensory experiences of the same space. Certain animals can see ultraviolet shades that are invisible to us. Mosquitos smell carbon dioxide. Snakes sense infrared radiation coming from warm objects. Ticks detect body heat from thirteen feet away. The robin feels the earth's magnetic field. Tiny insects make extraordinary sounds that vibrate through plants. When a fish swims it leaves behind a hydrodynamic wake, a “trail of swirling water.” Did you know that harbor seals can detect this with their whiskers and follow a herring from up to about 200 yards away? No one knew this before the year 2001.   There are whole new forms of sensing the world that human beings are only just discovering. We can barely imagine the experience that other creatures are having. I love the word that describes this. It is Umwelt, the German word for environment. But in this case it means the perceptual world of each creature. The ability of our eyes to see details for instance makes us almost entirely unique among all animals other than eagles and vultures. Our Umwelt is predominantly visual one.   My point is that we encounter truth through symbols which lie deep in our subconscious and areshared in our culture. You might call this way of seeing a kind of unavoidable mythological Umwelt. Our Umwelt determines what we think about loyalty, family, economic growth, impurity, justice, identity, childhood, politics, duty, fairness and nationality. This worldviewdirects us as we try to live a good life.   Why religion? Because we are unfinished creatures made more complete by God and each other. Religion is a way of studying, interpreting, shaping and ultimately embodying values. Participating in religion means more consciously opening ourselves to other people. This includes the diverse people in this room but also those who came before us in history who loved God and wrote hymns, prayers and theologies. Together we pray and listen to the promptings of God's spirit.   During the terrible years of apartheid in South Africa it was dangerous for Desmond Tutu to preach. But this did not stop him. He said “You are love.” “You are the body of Christ that receives the sacraments in order to become more fully the mystical embodiment of love.” God loves us so that we can love another.   2. Why religion? Because of our longing for God and God's longing for us. Religion is how we meet God. It is how we receive help from beyond ourselves. In her memoir the historian Elaine Pagels writes about the way her rationalist parents dismissed religion as something only for uneducated people, as unscientific. But this also led them in an extreme way to avoid thinking or talking about suffering and death.   Mark Twain joked, “I know that everyone dies, but I always thought an exception would be made in my case.” This was how they existed and it left them unprepared for life.   Pagels describes having difficulty getting pregnant and then participating in a kind of fertility ritual. Sitting in a candlelit circle a thought entered her mind, “Are you willing to be a channel?” She answered “Yes!” and soon became pregnant. Her son Mark was born with a hole in his heart that had to be repaired by surgery when he was one year old.   The night before the surgery she was startled by an experience that could have been a dream although she felt like she was awake. An inhuman male presence came near threatening to kill her son. She wanted to run but stood her ground. The threatening presence returned twice more. The last time she felt like she could not stand another moment. She spoke the name, “Jesus Christ” and the dangerous being fled and she was no longer afraid.   Four years later Mark was in Kindergarten when one evening she went into his room to sing him to sleep. Instead he hugged her with his arms around her neck and said, “I'll love you all my life, and all my death.” The next day at the doctor's office when they were drawing blood he stiffened and his eyes rolled up. She sensed that the life had left his body, that their connection was breaking. And she lost consciousness.   Suddenly Pagels seemed, “to be in a brilliant place, vividly green with golden light.” Her husband came in and she felt as if she could feel her son's presence there near the ceiling of the room. The cardiologist came in to say, “I don't want to get your hopes up, but your son's heart stopped and it is beating again.” Pagels had the impression that the boy had heard his parents talking and gone back to his body only to discover it couldn't sustain his life.   The boy died and Pagels writes, “Strangely, I also sensed that he'd felt a burst of joy and relief to leave his exhausted body. Before that moment, I'd taken for granted what I'd learned, that death was the end, any thought of surviving death only fantasy. Although that may be true, what I experienced that day challenged that assumption. I was astonished, seeming to sense that Mark was all right, wherever he was, and that he was somewhere.”   The tragedy deepened terribly a year later when the one person Pagels' depended on most, her beloved husband fell to his death in a climbing accident. Her parents did not visit when her son was born, or when he had open-heart surgery or when he died or for her husband's funeral. They stayed away from suffering. She called it a “pattern of oblivion.”   Elaine Pagels studied ancient gnostic literature written after the Bible was finished. She quotesthe Gospel of Thomas which says, “the kingdom of God is within you, and outside of you. When you come to know yourselves then… you will know that you are children of God.”   Pagels concludes writing, “the kingdom of God is not an actual place… or an event expected in human time. Instead, it's a state of being that we may enter when we come to know who we are, and come to know God as the source of our being… The “good news” is not only about Jesus, it's about every one of us. While we ordinarily identify ourselves by specifying how we differ, in terms of gender, race, ethnicity… recognizing that we are “children of God” requires us to see how we are the same – members… of the same family… [T]he “image of God,” the divine light given in creation, is hidden deep within each one of us, linking our fragile, limited selves to their divine source.”   Why religion? Because in the face of the great mystery of our life we long for reality. We reach beyond our Umwelt to learn from each other. Why religion? Because beyond even the “pattern of oblivion” God meets us here where we receive help from beyond ourselves.

To try to understand David Goggins, should we turn to psychology or sociology? What about psychoanalysis or critical social theory, e.g. Jacques Lacan vs. Pierre Bourdieu? Before we can even get there, we first have to situate critical social theory as between or beyond Marxism and phenomenology. That means some recap of Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger will be necessary. All of the above thinkers are some of the most complex, difficult, and profound of all time. They all have something utterly essential to gift the field of underground theory.

You can also still submit for our Time Capsule project (directions are also in the show notes of our "One Year of Clairannoyance" episode). ******************ABOUT THIS EPISODE: Hesitation is such a common yet fleeting feeling, often occurring mere moments before an ultimate decision. This instinctive pause is intertwined with moral choices, offering us a moment to confirm where we stand on the spectrum of good and bad, right and wrong. Hesitation can be the difference between cautious wisdom and paralyzing fear, as it taps into your primitive flight/fight/freeze response, often exacerbated by anxiety. Søren Kierkegaard described anxiety as “the dizziness of freedom,” capturing how existential freedom and responsibility can lead to hesitation or paralysis in making significant life decisions. Meanwhile, Martin Heidegger's notion of resoluteness — the act of being true to oneself by overcoming hesitation to act authentically — serves as an antidote to the paralysis hesitation can induce. If you listened to our April and May astrology forecasts, you know that old patterns are coming to a head right now while we adjust to the wave of new energies coming in. Under the influence of new possibilities and life directions on the horizon, hesitation is a natural part of the process, giving us the space to align our intentions with our actions as we navigate moral and existential choices.What's making you hesitate right now?

“Existentialism is a form of philosophical inquiry that explores the issue of human existence.[1][2] Existentialist philosophers explore questions related to the meaning, purpose, and value of human existence. Common concepts in existentialist thought include existential crisis, dread, and anxiety in the face of an absurd world and free will, as well as authenticity, courage, and virtue.[3] Existentialism is associated with several 19th- and 20th-century European philosophers who shared an emphasis on the human subject, despite often profound differences in thought.[4][2][5] Among the earliest figures associated with existentialism are philosophers Søren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche and novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky, all of whom critiqued rationalism and concerned themselves with the problem of meaning. In the 20th century, prominent existentialist thinkers included Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, Martin Heidegger, Simone de Beauvoir, Karl Jaspers, Gabriel Marcel, and Paul Tillich. Many existentialists considered traditional systematic or academic philosophies, in style and content, to be too abstract and removed from concrete human experience.[6][7] A primary virtue in existentialist thought is authenticity.[8] Existentialism would influence many disciplines outside of philosophy, including theology, drama, art, literature, and psychology.[9] Existentialist philosophy encompasses a range of perspectives, but it shares certain underlying concepts. Among these, a central tenet of existentialism is that personal freedom, individual responsibility, and deliberate choice are essential to the pursuit of self-discovery and the determination of life's meaning.[10]” -Wikipedia. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

Timothy Keller Sermons Podcast by Gospel in Life

We're not at home. We live in a world that doesn't sustain or support the deepest needs of our hearts. Martin Heidegger (a fascist sympathizer) and Karl Marx (the father of Communism) were very different, prominent thinkers; yet, they both agreed that we can't understand the human condition without the concept of alienation. Of course, that immediately raises the question, why wouldn't we feel at home here?  The prophet Jeremiah gives us a lot of insight: 1) why we long for a home, 2) how we can get home, and 3) what life there will be like. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on September 28, 2003. Series: The Necessity of Belief. Scripture: Jeremiah 31:10-17; 31-34. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.

In what way is beef in UFOs religious-like? Is there evidence for collective visions of these objects and entities, or rather for their objective reality? In what way could the experience have elements of both? In this episode we have the ever more mainstream story of UFO experiences to assess; Not necessarily the important questions around the existence of the phenomenon, which the office of the US director of National Intelligence confirmed in an official 2021 report that they were, in fact, a ‘population of objects' (see show notes below)- but rather the belief in the phenomenon, in 2008 polled at around %37 of Americans, but by no means confined to the US. This widespread belief, along with less ridiculed beliefs bolstered by the high probability of extraterrestrial civilisations more advanced than our own existing out there in the cosmos, has had a huge sociological and cultural influence on western society. So in this episode I want to put into a sociological context all of this quasi-religious belief; understand the role of our perception of technology; get our heads around a rare example of a modern myth forming in real time; look at the ways a phenomenon can be both physical and psychological at the same time; and examine various scientific, academic and even philosophical doors into this confounding phenomena that no matter how much the sceptics deny, just won't go away. So when we study belief we have to turn to a religious studies specialist, and who better to call on than Professor of Religious studies at the University of North Carolina, Diana Pasulka. She's also the author of 3 books, “Heaven Can Wait”, a book about purgatory, “American Cosmic” on scientists who believe in UFO's, and her new 2023 book “Encounters” on multi-disciplinary academic approaches to the UFO phenomenon and experiences with non-human intelligence.

In the first decades of the 20th century the Japanese philosopher Kitaro Nishida sent students to Europe and America to see what they could discover about Western philosophy. Keiji Nishitani went to Freiburg to study under Martin Heidegger, and became one of the leading figures in the Kyoto School, a project of synthesis that tried to read the Japanese intellectual tradition through the lens of European philosophy and vice versa. These thinkers took ideas from Christian mysticism, German idealism and Phenomenology, and combined them with an interest in direct experience shaped by Japanese Zen and other forms of Buddhism. But it was work carried out in Japan in the 1930s, in a society becoming increasingly militaristic and tending towards fascism. Chris Harding discusses the Kyoto School and its legacy with James Heisig, Professor Emeritus at Nanzan University, Graham Parkes, Professorial Research Fellow in Philosophy at the University of Vienna, Raquel Bouso, Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, and Takeshi Morisato, Lecturer in Non-Western Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh.Producer: Luke Mulhall

Martin Heidegger is widely viewed as one of the most significant philosophers of the 20th century. His 1927 book Being & Time took issue with the entire Western intellectual tradition since Aristotle and suggested a new beginning for philosophy, which has been widely influential in philosophy and beyond. But Heidegger was a card-carrying member of the Nazi party, and there is considerable evidence that he held anti-Semitic views. What is the relationship between the Epochal work, and the opinions and actions of the man? Matthew Sweet discusses, with Maximilian de Gaynesford, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Reading, Peter Osborne, Professor of Philosophy at Kingston University, Daniel Herskowitz, British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow in Theology at the University of Oxford, and Donatella Di Cesare, Professor of Philosophy at Sapienza Universita di Roma.Producer: Luke Mulhall
