What's next? Philosophy students that can't make it through Heidegger's Sein und Zeit?

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Heidigger was writing philosophy? I thought he was just a fat cat Shinra executive.

He was also a boozy beggar who could drink you under the table

Wait, was that IRL or in FFVII?

Honestly at this point I can't tell any more

Kant is pretty hard to get through to be fair.

I know, Heidegger is very dense too. As a former Philophy major I got to pick my turf.

It is a bit curious to me that what you obviously thought you'd be interested in doesnt grab your attention.

You just Kant always get what you want.

most philosophy students don't ever read Heidegger. And those that do aren't doing it outside of a 300/400 level class.

In my grad program of 25 students, only 2 of us had read any Heidegger and he was not taught at all at my university.

It was kind of a double edged joke. I'm a former philosophy major and knew Heidegger was dense and not very commonly read. I've personally only read a chapter of his work in the context of the history of philosophy.

Off topic, you have quite a bizarre user name

i'm a nihilist about usernames.
