Help digitize Hubert Dreyfus's lectures and seminars.

"A massive trove of legendary lectures by philosopher Hubert L Dreyfus is currently confined to aging cassette tapes in a closet in the Berkeley Hills.

«Η αντίληψη των άλλων ανθρώπων και του διυποκειμενικού κόσμου είναι προβληματική μόνο για τους ενήλικες. Το παιδί ζει σε έναν κόσμο που πιστεύει χωρίς δισταγμό προσβάσιμο σε όλους γύρω του. Δεν έχει επίγνωση του εαυτού του ή των άλλων ως ιδιωτικών υποκειμενικών, ούτε υποψιάζεται ότι όλοι μας, συμπεριλαμβανομένου του ίδιου, περιοριζόμαστε σε μια συγκεκριμένη άποψη του κόσμου. Γι' αυτό δεν υποβάλλει ούτε τις σκέψεις του, στις οποίες πιστεύει, όπως παρουσιάζονται, σε κανενός είδους κριτική. Δεν έχει γνώση οπτικών γωνιών. Γι' αυτόν οι άνθρωποι είναι άδεια κεφάλια στραμμένα προς έναν μόνο, αυτονόητο κόσμο όπου όλα γίνονται, ακόμα και τα όνειρα, που είναι, πιστεύει, στο δωμάτιό του, ακόμη και σκεπτόμενο, αφού δεν διαφέρει από τις λέξεις». —Maurice #Merleau-Ponty

“The perception of other people and the intersubjective world is problematic only for adults. The child lives in a world which he unhesitatingly believes accessible to all around him. He has no awares of himself or of others as private subjectives, nor does he suspect that all of us, himself included, are limited to one certain point of view of the world. That is why he subjects neither his thoughts, in which he believes as they present themselves, to any sort of criticism. He has no knowledge of points of view. For him men are empty heads turned towards one single, self-evident world where everything takes place, even dreams, which are, he thinks, in his room, and even thinking, since it is not distinct from words.” —Maurice Merleau-Ponty

Pushing Off of Aristotle
by Mona Mona

Given that #Aristotle made a decision to begin with objects, #Heidegger wants to go back behind Aristotle and place “humans” at the center and origin of his account.

When Heidegger’s Being and Time was brought into France, a French interpretation of the work by #Sartre, #Beauvoir, #Levinas, #MerleauPonty and others came to be known by the shorter name, #Existentialism. And now you know, the start of the story.

Heidegger In A Tiny Nutshell

Pushing Off of Aristotle Heidegger criticizes Aristotle’s study of beings in the Physics and Metaphysics because it assumes things/objects as the primary focus. Humans (subjects, more precisely) don’t fit well into a study of beings that assumes objects are where it’s at. Plus, anything that we know, we know as subjects - in and through our subjectivity, though our perceptive abilities, our embodiment, and our cognitive abilities to think. Given this, Heidegger makes the now obvious point that should start by seeking to understand “the being for whom it’s own being is an issue “— that is us, the being that can reflect on it’s own existence and ask questions about it. We should study subjectivity and what we can come to know as subjects in the world.
