Summary

Today we look at Heidegger's critique of metaphysics and the traditional subject-object framing in philosophy. How multiple framings are necessary for a fuller picture of our being. His challenge to thinkers like Nietzsche and Descartes. Dasein, the limitations of objectivity. Phenomenology as an alternative focusing on the importance of lived experience. And his ideas on temporality and death as a horizon of our being. Hope you love it! :) Sponsors: Nord VPN: https://nordvpn.com/philothis Better Help: https://www.BetterHelp.com/PHILTHIS LMNT: https://www.DrinkLMNT.com/philo Thank you so much for listening!

0:24.4	you something I think is very jarring and pretty awesome about Heidegger's work as well
0:28.6	as something that's significant about it that'll help you place them in however you think
0:31.8	about the history of philosophy.
0:33.0	Heidegger was one of the most important members of a movement in philosophy that was
0:37.8	trying to question metaphysics at a level that had really never been done
0:41.0	before. This is around the 1920s. It's the beginning of his career.
0:45.2	And in many ways, as a German thinker himself, he's reacting to the ripple effect that was created
0:50.6	by the work of another German thinker that came before him. Guy we've been talking about on the show lately named Freddie. that was the
0:53.0	the work of another German thinker that came before him,

0:54.6	named Frederick Nietzsche.
0:56.2	See, if you've listened to the last few episodes,
0:58.2	then you know Nietzsche thought his work
1:00.0	was the twilight of the idols from the history of philosophy,
