The question of Being - Being as a noun - Being as an event - “You can't bracket a bullit”
In this episode, Awee introduces us to Martin Heidegger, one of the most influential—and controversial—philosophers of the 20th and 21st centuries. Breaking sharply from his mentor, Edmund Husserl, Heidegger challenges over 2000 years of Western philosophy. After the ancient Greeks before him, Heidegger turned to the question of being. According to Heidegger, philosophy should not be a 'rigorous science' but should instead wrestle with the fundamental questions of existence; what it means to be human.
Kas and Sonia guide you through this challenging episode, as Kas modestly fanboys about his first philosophical love: Heidegger. We also find out that in philosophy and life, language is kind of a big deal.
Let’s begin, finally!
