“To the German philosopher Martin #Heidegger, technology was far more than just tools that people develop, but systems through which the world both reveals itself to us and shapes the way we see it.”

“[T]o prevent us from losing our humanity, we should look to #artists, who represent another way of seeing – one that deepens our appreciation of the world rather than flattening it.”

The concept of "Heimat" is untranslatable: it's not just "homeland," but a deep emotional connection to a place, a language, or a memory. It represents a sense of belonging and security where one feels "at home" without having to explain. It's an identity rooted in the past, but which today opens up to others, defining not where we were born, but where our whole self finally feels whole.

Cit. Heidegger

#heidegger

"Sein" is Being: not an object, but the horizon that makes every entity comprehensible.
"Dasein" (Being-there) is man: the only entity that asks the question about the meaning of Being.

Your Flow of Flows, or, How die Wüste wächst
by Doug Wise

"So by the light of #Heidegger's work this ancient doctrine manifests an inchoate appreciation of sense-making as nature's locally pre-eminent #entropy-accelerator. And in that light continued expansion of Erschlossenheit implies ever more rapid deepening of Gescheißenheit."

Vergangenes and Gewesenes as axis. Heidegger who describes the structure, Frankl who derives an ethical and almost soteriological thesis from the same structure. Where they agree and where they diverge — and why the divergence is not a fault but a productive tension that keeps both thinkers in orbit.

The Psychology of Ugly #Architecture:
Why We Hate Modern Cities
by Tim Seyrek

"Perhaps #Heidegger was right, and functionalism ultimately displaced a more primordial way of building, a shift in which profit and efficiency superseded our embodied sense of what it means to dwell. Buildings became more efficient, but less human."

#Heidegger’s Ghost
Raymond Tallis wonders where Heidegger’s body went when he was philosophising.

https://philosophynow.org/issues/173/Heideggers_Ghost

Why we read philosophers as if they were in a queue — Husserl begets Heidegger, Heidegger begets Gadamer — and why this linear genealogy lies. Introduction to topological reading: thinkers as bodies in a gravitational field, not as links in a chain. Frankl's encounter with Heidegger on the back of a photograph as a concrete iconic moment that opens the entire essay.
