Paul Axton preaches: John identifies Jesus as the the rejected Logos, which means he is not the Greek logos, the Jewish logos, the philosophical logos, or the religious logos, or the logic, language, reason, or word that grounds this world's systems of human thought. Martin Heidegger is the prime example of recognizing the violence of the Greek logos, and then of presuming the Logos of Christ is a continuation of the same. René Girard brings out the absolute difference, developed most completely by Anthony Bartlett.  If you enjoyed this podcast, please consider donating to support our work. Become a Patron!

The British author and journalist Oliver Burkeman has spent decades pondering what it means to live a meaningful life, both in his former Guardian column “This Column WIll Change Your Life” and across several books—most recently, Meditations for Mortals, out in paperback this October. That's why he brings a healthy dose of skepticism to so-called “time management” systems and productivity hacks as a means toward true fulfillment. Burkeman's compelled by the notion that, rather than being separate from time, human beings are time. If people faced the reality of their limited time on the planet head on, he believes there's a real chance to experience greater, more engaged feelings of aliveness.On the episode—our Season 12 kick-off—Burkeman discusses why he's eschewing  perfectionism and finding unexpected liberation in the premise that, to some extent, the worst has already happened, and the best may still be ahead.Special thanks to our Season 11 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes:Oliver Burkeman[4:26] “Meditations for Mortals” (2024)[6:48] Donald Winnicott[7:46] Martin Heidegger[7:46] "Technics and Civilization" (2010)[7:46] “Being and Time” (1927)[7:46] “Time Warrior” (2011)[7:46] “Time Surfing” (2017)[7:46] “Anti-Time Management” (2022)[10:14] Medieval peasants[10:14] “The 4-Hour Workweek”[13:18] Alicja Kwade[19:23] “Ichi-go, ichi-e” (“one time, one meeting”)[22:00] Eckhart Tolle[22:36] Agnes Martin[23:28] “The Road Not Taken”[40:03] “This Column Will Change Your Life”[51:00] Nicholas Carr[51:00] Clay Shirky[53:40] Jennifer Roberts[59:04] Pomodoro Technique [59:13] Kanban[1:01:33] James Hollis[1:02:40] Alfred Adler[1:02:40] “The Courage to Be Disliked” (2024)[1:06:24] Stoicism

What is an emotion? In his Sketches for a Theory of the Emotions (1939), Sartre picks up what William James, Martin Heidegger and others had written about this question to suggest what he believed to be a new thought on human emotion and its relation to consciousness. For Sartre, the emotions are not external forces acting upon consciousness but an action of consciousness as it tries to rearrange the world to suit itself, or as he puts it at the end of his book: a sudden fall of consciousness into magic. In this episode Jonathan and James discuss why Sartre's rejection of the idea of the subconscious is not as much a departure from Freud's theories as he thought they were, and the ways in which his attempt to establish a ‘phenomenological psychology' manifested in other works, including Nausea, Being and Nothingness and The Words. Note: Readers should use the translation by Philip Mairet. The earlier one by Bernard Frechtman, as Jonathan explains in the episode, contains numerous (often amusing) errors.

Bitcoin'in sadece bir teknoloji olmanın ötesindeki derin felsefi anlamını hiç düşündünüz mü? Martin Heidegger'in 'Teknik Üzerine Soruşturma' eserinden ilham alan bu podcast, Bitcoin'i bir dil fenomeni, mutlak gerçeğin bir ifadesi olarak inceliyor.Günümüz dünyasında devletin "Panoptik Terörü" ve dilin yitirilmiş anlamı karşısında, Bitcoin "Weltgeist'in Dasein'i" olarak, insanlığın kaderini yeniden şekillendirme potansiyeli taşıyor. O, eylemi ve dili birleştirerek "Tanrısal Şiddet" ile devleti kansızca ortadan kaldıran "Mesihvari" bir güç olarak sunuluyor.Satoshi Nakamoto, sıradan bir insan değil, dilin ve hakikatin yitirildiği bu çağda insanlığın sözünü yeniden dirilten, saf düşüncenin bir tezahürüdür. Onun sanat eseri Bitcoin, teknolojinin sadece bir araç değil, bir "açığa çıkarma" (aletheia) biçimi olduğunu gösteriyor.Yanlış anlaşılan 'kripto' teriminin ve devletle birleşen "Tehlike"nin (Merkez Bankası Dijital Para Birimleri aracılığıyla teknolojik panoptikon) tuzaklarına dikkat çekiyoruz. Bu tehlikenin içinde gizli olan "Kurtarıcı Güç," insanın makineyle özgür bir ilişki kurarak kendini dönüştürmesiyle ortaya çıkabilir.Bitcoin'in dört temel nedeni — kriptografiyle oluşan "ilahi madde," hesaplama enerjisiyle şekillenen "form," yeni bir "toplumsal sözleşme" olarak amacı ve yaratıcısı Satoshi Nakamoto — onun varoluşsal derinliğini ortaya koyuyor. Bu, sadece teknolojik bir tartışma değil; "Homo Sacer"in yaşamı, "Dasein"in gerçek özü ve hayatın riskini sorgulama üzerine bir yolculuktur.Kaynak

What does it mean for a jug to be a jug? Or for any thing to be called a ‘thing'? In his 1950 lecture ‘Das Ding', Heidegger attempts to cajole his audience away from their everyday way of seeing the world as consisting of objects that can be represented objectively, and into the kind of thinking that ‘responds and recalls'. For Heidegger, the world we experience is one of dynamic movement between revelation and concealment, where the essential nature of a thing lies in its ‘thinging', and the ‘jug's jug character consists in the poured gift of the jug's pouring out'. In this episode Jonathan and James work through Heidegger's ideas about both ‘things' and time, and consider the purpose of his poetic style.

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.

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.

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.

They also discuss the difference between anti-Western ideology in Russia and that in regimes like Iran. Under Dugin's influence, Russia awkwardly sits between the United States and China geopolitically while also trying to preserve humanity through traditional values.

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.
