Episode notes
Authenticity and Totality
- Heidegger claims his existential analysis hasn't been sufficiently primordial.
- He says it lacked analysis of Dasein's authenticity and Dasein as a whole.
Death, Not Birth
- Heidegger prioritizes Dasein's end (death) over its beginning (birth) to understand Dasein's wholeness.
- This leads to analyzing Dasein's being-towards-death and its relation to its end.
Grasping Dasein's Totality
- Heidegger aims to grasp Dasein as a whole by understanding its end, which is death.
- He emphasizes the importance of grasping the big picture argument without getting lost in details.
