Anyone good with explaining Heidegger to me??

[DanielR]

Hey,

I'm reading an introductory literature on Heidegger right now.

I'm trying to understand his explanation on being and 'nothingness'.

Does Heidegger ever explain how being arises out of nothingness? Where is my mistake in understanding his philosophy??

Thank you

The problem with Heidegger is that he's not very good at explaining Heidegger either...

Does Heidegger ever explain how being arises out of nothingness?

From Wiki article:

The existential and ontological constitution of the totality of Dasein is grounded in temporality. Accordingly, a primordial mode of temporalizing of ecstatic temporality itself must make the ecstatic project of being in general possible. How is this mode of temporalizing of temporality to be interpreted? Is there a way leading from primordial time to the meaning of being? Does time itself reveal itself as the horizon of being?

Well that certainly clears it up...

Yes... Working from the 'ecstatic' theorem of Heidegger's equation we can see how the ecstasy of RF forums is a product of you and me. 'Being' then is a product of many ingredients.

So are you saying that it takes at least two to be 'ecstatic'? Can there be no 'Being' with just a single being?

"Working from the 'ecstatic' theorem of Heidegger's equation" more correctly = "Working from the 'ecstatic' equation of Heidegger's theorem"

Can there be no 'Being' with just a single being?

Not as we know it.

Yes, I think that's Heidegger's premise.
