Consider supporting me at Patreon: / nexusvoid In this video I discuss Martin Heidegger's essay "What is Metaphysics?" and attempt to explain what he meant.
I think it's very fascinating that there are people fascinated by such things ,do you know of any books that expound more on the subject in your comment and its accompanying examples(control)
If you replace "The Nothing" with "the unconscious", you pretty much get Jungian theory: The unconscious is the bases of everything, consciousness is just an outgrowth of the unconscious, and the purpose of consciousness is to confront and integrate contents of the unconscious.
Dread approaches! Dread recedes! It's horrible! Der Furor is my salvation. Anything to evade focusing my mind. No, no, Martin. It's being on time. -Mrs.Heidegger
I thought about if you didnt have anything what would death be?,because its the opposite of everything=video/researcher=waaaaay more philosophy about it.
Heidegger is not insane, just a little too tightly wrapped... Why is there Heidegger rather than nothing? A vulgar variant of concept stealing, prevalent among avowed mystics and irrationalists, is a fallacy I call the Reification of the Zero. It consists of regarding “nothing” as a thing, as a special, different kind of existent. (For example, see Existentialism.) This fallacy breeds such symptoms as the notion that presence and absence, or being and non-being, are metaphysical forces of equal power, and that being is the absence of non-being -Ayn Rand, _Intro. To Objectivist Epistemology_ The professor who taught Existentialism in my former philosophy department told me that he "wanted to kill someone, anyone."
@@wartamana6074 I agree with your sentiment: Science is built on sacrifice... on the ashes of heroes. This is truly not to be forsaken but nazis didn't sacrifice, they just killed. This doesn't mean that I don't think Heidegger had good points though, same as I can enjoy artwork made by a murderer. I was just pointing it out because I don't think folks should forget.
@@PulsatingShadow bro I don't think you actually know what metaphysics is, have you actually studied Kabbalah, Neoplatonism and Hermeticism? Or did you just read a bit of Heidegger and think he's the be all end all? I would think it's the latter. Wise up.
