This is SO MUCH what I needed to watch right now. At a moment when forces of control and standardization threaten individual expression and community life, we need these reminders of the sacrednesses of our common humanity and the arts and crafts that give it meaning. ❤
Thank you Ruspoli for making this. All through this while watching I felt there's nothing i'd rather be doing, no place i'd rather be, nobody i'd rather be with...and i'll remember this 1hr 20 min 34 sec forever...😊

I just love the people in this documentary. I'm not sure how they were identified, but it was pretty incredible seeing each of these masters enjoying their crafts.
@as someone who studied quite a bit of academic philosophy, I really appreciate how Dreyfus seeks to bring this to a more popular culture. Philosophy for too long has been isolated in the Ivory tower by it's nature, philosophy is important for everyone at their own level
@@9000ck this is the sad truth of it... it's philosophy that's withered from lack of attention and fresh perspective, while cultures goes on just fine without it. I so appreciate that this documentary approaches philosophy from the point of view of how intrinsic it is to life, and the passion in that life. If philosophy were more accessible, so would passion.
This gave me a new kind of language to express what was already there and had no name, it also opened up space for new paths of being in the world which are more meaningful to me, and for that I am really thankful!
Thanks Tao for making this excellent film available here. I crossed paths it, by chance, at a public library in Edmonton AB Canada. The single washroom was in the DVD section. Being in This World caught my attention whilst in the queue. Oh, an intro to philosophy...cool. Picked it up. Loved discovering that it's kinda that but so much more -- a collective description of how to become a master in any domain of action using mostly philosopher Martin Heidigger's ideas a guide to achieving mastery of something. I loved the parallel interviews with philosophy professors and various masters of traditional japanese carpentry, Cajun cooking, flamenco music and more. Enjoy the nuanced, skillful response to the specifics of a situation 😉
absolutely fantastic film. the lighting is great, the music is choice, the editing is fab. super well done. and so glad it exists. if i'd make one humble suggestion, it'd be to change the thumbnail.
As I'm a bit drunk and high, I'm watching this second time in a very very short interval. Painting with my Wacom and playing my keyboard, Heidegger fascinates me even more. I'm ready to see beyond one's decisions and actions, what for me matters the most, is de facto mere ideas we leave behind. (Regarding any notion what Heidegger itself took in action, e.g Nazism.) I'm terrible sorry, as I'm taking this comment section as a one big saloon. The music is playing, attention is directed but not contested, much appreciation is flying among comments, and perhaps even ever useful critique. Our digital Saloon*
people have been aware that Aristotle's ontology was different to Plato's for a long time. Heidegger doesn't really have anything to add. I guess you could say he re-popularised it for a short while.
Mr Mark Wrathall tricked me with his goatie at 45:50, what i thought was, did they placed the same actor to play two differnet roles? Of course I am kidding, thank you for that great movie. Rip Hubert Dreyfus
Oh; wie schön diese Publikation, die ich als DVD schon einige Jahre besitze, nun einem breiten Publikum zugänglich zu machen. Eigentlich geht es um die 'kruziale' (alias 'Geviert') Frage der Bestimmung eines 'Jeweiligen' Lebens. Dabei stellen sich einige Menschen vor, die zu ihrem 'Dasein' gefunden haben.
I am not sure what Heidegger's genuinely new point is? I mean, as an academically trained philosopher he must have heard about epistemology and the interconnection of experience i.e evidence, empirics etc and theory i.e abstract thought? So I fail to understand what was groundbreaking about it, particularly as many contemporaries of his gave so much input in that direction. The examples of "gut feeling" given in the documentary are rather well explained by psychology by now: People with highly developed skills develop "a fingertip feeling" for their subject and seem to just "flow through it". The basis for that is long and hard training and learning though.
Joking aside, I address Heidegger’s Naziism in this article I wrote when Manuel Molina died: www.counterpunch.org/2015/06/05/the-vanishing-world-of-a-flamenco-master/
yes but what does it mean for heidegger's thoughts if they lead one to fascism? clearly the search for authentic existential meaning is not a moral one. RIP Austin Peralta
That’s a pretty weak argument. Yes Heidegger was a Nazi. However, if you look at people who were influenced by Heidegger and even adopted the same existential mode of analysis, such as Sartre, it’s clear that Heideggers thought doesn’t ipso facto lead to fascism.
Didn’t Heidegger say that Sartre misunderstood his view? The question remains whether Heidegger was applying his philosophy when he joined the Nazi party, became Rector of Freiburg University, helped victimise members of the faculties (especially Jewish ones including Husserl), retreated after the 1934 Night of the Long Knives and then was silent on it for the rest of his life … OR … he was obeying a different standard for reasons that aren’t clear. What is “Dasein” and “the World” of WWII, the Final Solution and the technology used at Auschwitz and elsewhere? Does “Being and Time” and Heidegger’s notion of “authenticity” entail being silence on such matters? At 1:17:33 Dreyfus says “being in the world is a unified phenomenon when people are at their best and most absorbed in doing a skillful thing. They lose themselves into their absorption and the distinction between the master and the world disappears.” Why does that not apply to warriors and their weapons? (Heidegger didn’t serve in WWI but I have seen someone say that he thought facing death together was the truest form of community. Is that right? See 15:55 in “Only a God Can Save Us” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_TEEJeyZNaM.html)
This is not what Heidegger pointe to. And it is not the core of what he was up to either. He talked in his own unique vocabulary about what is known in Hinduism, Daoism and Buddhism as Oneness, nondualism. This is not about migrating the illusion of the person to the world, it is about dissolving this illusion altogether. After which person and world are One. Shankara: the world is an illusion - only Brahman is real - Brahman is the world. He who doesn't fully realize this should not try to explain Heidegger. The wood-crafstman showed what it is all about. Wu Wei, choiceless Awareness, the fulness of emptyness. It is about being in the Flow, not thinking but intuiting, the task positive netwerk of the brain, which we also tap into in meditation. And who thought of the stupid idea of playing music as background of talking? Are we in a piano bar?
oh stfu. You are just speaking meaningless word salads. Dao, brahman, Wu Wei etc. these are all place holders (variables) for some kinds of inner experiences. They are as real as unicorns or flying dragons are. If you ingest a good doses of any psychoactive drug, you can come up with many more such place holders. As long as you recognize the subjectivity of these terms and experiences, it is all fine. But dont come out guns blazing to convince people that these things really exist outside human experience. All mystic traditions of the world have ways to achieve mystic experiences, science calls them various types of self-induced hallucinations/trances . But their existence is of the same kind as my love or hate exists for someone, its mental and neurochemical at its origin. Again, stfu please.
