Dr. John Vervaeke and Johannes Niederhauser delve deep into the complex and intricate philosophy of Martin Heidegger. They cover a range of topics that unveil the nuances of 'being' and 'time', pulling from Heidegger's seminal work, "Being and Time," to shed light on contemporary questions of existence, meaning, and wisdom. With Niederhauser's specialized background in Heideggerian philosophy and Vervaeke's multi-disciplinary approach, the duo explores the limitations of traditional metaphysics, the crisis in philosophy, and the nature of time, all within the larger quest for cultivating wisdom. They bring a fresh lens to examine how phenomenology, metaphysics, and ontological questions interlace with modern-day issues. From a conversation on the dual nature of truth and untruth to discussing Heidegger's influence on cognitive science, this episode is a treasure trove for anyone yearning for a profound intellectual engagement.

    Heidegger's incompleteness theorem of concealment! Wonderful. Amazing discussion. Thank you 🙏
  • @lifearttimes
    On point, on all points.♾️ The meaning of “Be” & “ Have” = Behave indeed. To receive is to give it up and to receive is the continuum. Eckhart. 🕊️Shine On, Johannes & John!✨
  • Such a great dialogue really appreciate and enjoyed this one. It opened something in my thinking that is hard to explain it hit a few notes of understanding within me, thank you both.
  • @UpCycleClub
    My two favorite philosophers together! Yay! 🎉🙌
  • @Robinson8491
    My favorite point made came at the very end in the last minute: that we live in the world of philosophers, without having even read them. It is inevitable, our world is shaped by their thinking
  • @Lucasvoz
    I've always found Heidegger extremely difficult to read. Thanks for this and I'd be very interested in the course by Johannes!
  • @gnvtr20s
    I don’t know what y’all are talking about but I do enjoy it.
  • This may be the most advanced discussion I witness, and I'm a sucker for deep discussions. Let us be empowered in our understanding and truthfullness.
  • @mikegarrigan5182
    Because my perspective is oriented towards Eastern philosophy I appreciate your comments on “The Now” and how it presents itself in the timeline. Johannes’s metaphor of the bubble is appealing in that it ties into Quantum foam theory, well at least for me. Thank you, gentlemen, looking forward to your next discussion .
  • @filipsmit5497
    So happy to have listened to your path seeking and transformative dialogue! Simply de-lighted! (I’m currently reading Heidegger in German, with Kluge’s Etymologische Woerterbuch der Deutsche Sprache and a Greek dictionary next to me to have a better grasp of the double and ambiguous meanings of Heidegger’s terminology — because poetics is indeed the way to go!) Best regards from the Netherlands, Filip
  • @JiminiCrikkit
    Great talk, I feel as though there was new ground being agreed upon here ... and because of that new ground we find ourselves on, we DO have to re-inventio the wheel.
  • @BecomingJP
    I have never studied philosophy and so don’t know any more about Heidegger than this video, but I feel like it’s spoken less to me, more through me, to being me. Like a remembering of that which I somehow knew yet not necessarily’me’ that is the knowing. I hope that comes across. Thank you
  • Wow, what a tour de force. Profound in a manner almost beyond words. Would have loved to have heard you both discuss the convergence of Heideggerian ready-to-handedness and current work on affordances, skilled intentionality and autopoesis within the Active Inference framework. Perhaps the unfolding act of self-organisation holds the key to transcendence without the metaphysics of a two-world mythology. Hopefully next time!

    Recently I've been trying to hone my practice of awareness...of retaining a sense of unconditional being, while acting out tasks. My latest trick is to bring myself to awareness as often as possible...I am walking, I am sewing, Iam thinking....as i say the verb I hold onto pure 'am-ness'....so I always remember the present is in the eternal I- AM. As I listened to you I wondered if this is relevant to your discussion. Ive been having mentations of past trauma...they come unbidden even though Ive worked on myself for years and found forgiveness for the 'other' and Ibthought peace. But experts say that trauma is a wiring fault in the frontal cortex...not a memory stored in the hippocampus. So to heal trauma you have to rewire the emotion attached to the trauma to calm down the grip of it. Now, as a trauma comes unbidden, as soon as I can I catch it with awareness..'.I am traumatising'....and by hanging onto I am-ness... the eternal 'present' ....and by adding I am safe...then here ....the suffering of past and present coexist in the eternal I. This is putting the understanding of the function of transcendence into my life continually. Again and again ....as you concluded. 'Letting go' is for this purpose of daily transcendence...of self transformation. Being-existence-eternity is where completion of healing takes place, like ocean water constantly absorbing and reabsorbing waves...be they riplets or tsunamis into its equipoise. The schism is daily... to keep us open and sponataneous to the eternal life-force, which is inviting our reabsorption at every moment. That is the eternal love. Our little lives are but waves on the great ocean of Love...our true authentic nature...the nature of AM...of IS....of BEING. Time-suffering is a wave in-on.... BEING. Vedanta is my meta language to understand you guys...I hung onto this talk...especially the end....by the tips of my fingers, feeling my constant struggle in yours to articulate your goals. In my experience once you have really taken into yourself the conviction IAM...BEING...and really can experience that everyday reality is dependent and riding 'ON REALITY'....ON BEING...then the beauty of this non-duality can become a starting point for rewiring our troubled minds. Thank you so much for this jolt. Id love to hear from Johannes what Heidigger says about Parmenides poem 'On Reality'.
  • @Art2GoCanada
    To be and to have at the same time. Behave. 2 worlds indeed! Thanks for this, I'm humbled. 📘🙏❤️🔥
  • @Richard_Paradise
    I read up on Being and Time a little before listening to this talk. It worked me over pretty good : ) This is a really interesting topic. "By shifting the priority from consciousness (psychology) to existence (ontology), Heidegger altered the subsequent direction of phenomenology." src: wiki
  • @tcizzi
    1:28:30 It's these little tidbits of insight into Love that keep me coming back.
  • @beepboop204
    the first time i read Being and Time i also concurrently read Blood Meridian. the Judge man, the Judge.
  • @ramyafennell4615
    The documentary...Being in the World reveals Heidigger... and for me it says Be in Time but not of Time. Here we see Being as daily trandcendence in the task at hand..carpentry, cooking, jazz etc. I think they pinpoint the flow state.
