Is this board complicit in the closing of Being that is the trajectory of the west since Plato?

Are German, Ancient Greek and Sanskrit the most philosophical languages because of they have a lot of grammatical cases and therefore allow you to speak and think of "Being?"
>>
>Is this board complicit in the closing of Being that is the trajectory of the west since Plato?
Probably, I don't see how it couldn't be. This is a place where petty academic arguments are carried on in a more violent way than they can be in journals and institutions. It's a toxic academic environment; the Academy was the beginning of this decline, and we've removed all virtue from the concept of logos, so it seems like Heidegger would loathe us.
>Are German, Ancient Greek and Sanskrit the most philosophical languages because of they have a lot of grammatical cases and therefore allow you to speak and think of "Being?"
It probably also has a lot to do with the fact that the concept of Being was first known in Greece, India, and China and the lingual baptism of the concept occured when those languages were relatively young, or at least had young scripts.

Yeah, I think Heidegger is interesting but flawed because there's a lot of pro-Nazi thought in his philosophy and ultimately the Nazis were flawed (even if you don't invoke the Holocaust).

While I do see the similarities in the three languages, and how German and Greek are similar, I feel this kind of German patriotism was blind. Finnish could easily have the claim for language most open to Being.

Heidegger would probably contest that German is closest to Homeric Greek. I can't confirm nor deny but I'm skeptical of his emphasis on language in general.

If you actually read Sein und Zeit, you would know that wasn't true.

The only reason you say that is because you know that Heidegger was associated with the Nazis.

Well, Heidegger wants to argue that the Greek language itself was becoming more and more closed off to Being.

He famously stipulated some quote by Heraclitus (pre-Socratic philosopher) to be the first document of western civilization and the place where Being was unconcealed.

Heidegger thought his philosophy and the Nazi party could retrieve that essence from the pre-Socratic Greece who didn't believe in monotheism, thought the gods were all around them, were proud warriors etc - all the things a culture would have if they didn't think metaphysically, I guess.
>>
>>409728
>Yeah, I think Heidegger is interesting but flawed because there's a lot of pro-Nazi thought in his philosophy and ultimately the Nazis were flawed
Literally every philosopher is flawed. His allegiance to the Nazis isn't a good reason to disregard this philosophy. In fact, the Black Notebooks bring it all full circle: Jews have been trying to close off Being since the beginning of moderntiy, and National Socialism alone, with its emphasis on the importance of linguistic, cultural, ethnic, traditional, and historical identities, could fight it off. Communism and liberalism were clearly not trying to fight this closure.
>>
>>409747
>Heidegger thought his philosophy and the Nazi party could retrieve that essence from the pre-Socratic Greece who didn't believe in monotheism, thought the gods were all around them, were proud warriors etc
I don't think you get the point of his philosophy. This sounds more like Evola than Heidegger.

But Heidegger's philosophy is a brilliant defense of National Socialism.

It's clear he thinks what is uniquely German is better for the environment, for community, for thinking. It's a grand endorsement of what the Nazis themselves saw as the inheritance of ancient Greece. The Nazis wanted to cleanse Germany of Jewish culture and Heidegger is philosophically endorsing Germanic paganism as the light out for Germany and the world.

This is what triggered Levinas so much about Heidegger's philosophy. After initially liking Heidegger, he came to realize that it's essentially a 1930's philosophy, big on certain aspects of Nazism.

Heidegger was dissapointed with the Nazi party in practice, but the idealization the Nazis constructed of themselves in the early 30s is the one found in Heidegger's work.

Although there's nothing in Heidegger that could be construed as antisemitic (he was technically anti-Judaic but not a racialist) or pro-Holocaust, but because of Heidegger's distinction of truth and knowledge, it's hard to use Heidegger's thought to critique other people's morality. You could say, maybe, the Holocaust was concealing Being, especially through the use of technology but I don't think it's that strong. Maybe there's an ethical stance in "Let Beings be." But it seems to quaint compared to what was happening in Germany. I don't think there's much substance in it.

But you can always live in the country and not deal with these things.
>>
>>409767
That's what Heidegger thought.
>>
>>409776
Heidegger's philosophy *can* be construed as a brilliant defense for any reactionary or traditionalist politics, because he was antagonistic towards excessive materialism, commercialism, and hypertechnology.
>>
>>409749
I just don't believe in Germanic superiority, although I really respect and admire German culture. Plus I think Heidegger didn't gain much by critiquing Aristotle. I find the latter more useful.

But this is the real Heidegger. When Derrida dismisses these connections he's being so dishonest, but it's expected since his entire career was repeating Heidegger in the french language.

>>409754
Heidegger, like Nietzsche, admired pre-Socratic Greek philosophy and morality. Heidegger uses Homer as examples for stuff on truth and morality. The warriors in the Iliad had a markedly different conception of the world. Heidegger wanted that. Or at least, a Germanic reinterpretation that grasps some of its essence.

>>409767
It's basically Heidegger when you compare them. Although I stress Heidegger wouldn't have seen taken materialist conceptions of race seriously. Dasein isn't really compatible with genetics. This is already too science-y for Heidegger. Language, he thinks is more important. He would, however, take issue with Judaism and some and perhaps most forms of Christianity.
>>

Existence.
>>
>>409797
What does Derrida have to do with anything? I don't think Derrida ever made a coherent or useful claim in his life. Whether or not you believe in German superiority is beside the point. The fact that you can't talk about National Socialism without talking about 'muh master race stupidity' leads me to think you don't understand National Socialism or any kind of traditionalism in the first place.
You're right that Heidegger and most 19th century German thinkers romanticised Greek life. That doesn't mean Heidegger wanted to simply reclaim the Greek life. Like I said, you only think this because you misunderstand revolutionary conservatism.

Well, you see, Heidegger never cared about any contemporary philosopher except for Derrida. He liked Derrida and tried to arrange a meeting. Derrida bailed at the last minute because he's a pussy. Deconstruction is just Heidegger's De-struktion. There's nothing in Derrida that was not first in Heidegger.

Derrida is a purer Heidegger. Stripped of all the romanticism, Derrida shows Heidegger to be what it "truly is," annoying, useless bullshit.

>>409848
Adorno's critique is not bad. And his critique of Hegel is interesting as well, and ultimately, he is much closer to Hegel.

What I find ironic is that Adorno and Heidegger both agree on many points, but they argue that the foundations of the other's philosophy necessarily will culminate into disaster. Adorno, for Heidegger, would start without considering Being, and Heidegger, for Adorno, is just a fascist provincialism in poetic language. And yet, they both end up, from different initial arguments, to agree on many things like pop culture and technology.

Do Adorno and Heidegger inadvertently prove that each of their philosophies is bullshit?
>>
>>409876
But that isn't the entirety of National Socialism. Again, you're focusing purely on the master race bullshit, which Heidegger didn't buy into at all, so this criticism can't even be applied to his philosiphy. And it isn't like the Communists weren't trying to eradicate as much of Slavic culture as they could so that they could move their world forward and, yknow, be Communists.>>409876
Derrida isn't a 'purer' Heidegger, either; that claim oversimplifies both men painfully. But I want to repeat my belief that Derrida was a charlatan, and he did more harm than good with the whole 'nothing is outside the text' nonsense that shitposters on /lit/ can't get enough of.

Maybe you should accept that Heidegger was a Nazi and this is a Heidegger thread before telling someone who wants to talk about things you don't like to go back to /pol/.

>Do Adorno and Heidegger inadvertently prove that each of their philosophies is bullshit?
Since Heidegger's only verified reaction to Adorno was "Negative Dialectics? Wuts that?", the whole issue will tend to be somewhat one-sided.

At least regarding the technology part, their similarity of position seems to be somewhat superficial, as Adorno was enough of a marxist to keep believing in its utopian potential that was just perverted by capitalism/the dialectics of enlightenment. This is still admittedly superficial, as Derrida put it, some 20.000 pages are yet to be written on the difference between critical theory and deconstruction.
>>
>>409892
>But that isn't the entirety of National Socialism.
I never claimed that.

> so this criticism can't even be applied to his philosiphy

I never did that. I said specifically, this criticism cannot be applied to his philosophy. Dasein isn't genetic, isn't materialist. He is closer to Evola in this respect.

>>409892

I know that. But this doesn't change the fact that National Socialism is retarded, and would be retarded even if National Socialism wasn't racist.

Dictatorship and military expansionism doesn't turn into virtuous systems or behaviors, just because you think you have a good reason for doing them.

The definition is implied within the articles that I posted.

Racism is irrational and dangerous, as those incidents no doubt show.
>>
>>409986
Well, you should be able to define it. Is it an attitude, a bias, a product of power relations?
>>
>>409965
Because they both see language as the requisite for thought.

Derrida is just being provacative, but Heidegger would also agree that there's no thought without language. So Derrida is really just using "text" as "language."


"There is nothing outside [language]" = Language is the house of Being (Heidegger)

Deconstruction is the exact same thing as Heidegger's de-struktion of western philosophy. Every deconstructive analysis is just saying "look, no metaphysical Truth, just play, or as Heidegger said "Being" or as Heraclitus said "flux."

To me, the entire Heraclitus -> Heidegger -> Derrida trajector is faulty. Derrida just has no romanticism to lure you into his philosophy. He's just being annoying in an ivory tower setting.
>>
>>409984
>Do you think Heidegger was retarded for thinking there was an authenticity to the movement?

I think he was mistaken in thinking that a political monster like National Socialism would be a cure to any of the problems that he saw in world culture, i.e capitalism, hypertechnology etc.

He was clearly enchanted by the mass-movement of National Socialism, like many people of that era just with different ideologies such as Communism.

It's interesting how the only people who saw that, were the Weimar Liberals like Friedrich Hayek.

I'm not saying there ksn't, I'm saying the overlap is present at a superficial level, when you try to state their position as short and concise as possible.

>Muh rationality
Can you explain what makes something rational?
>and it usually ends in bloodshed.
Reason is responsible for a looooot of bloodshed. Irrational beliefs like "I will go to Hell if I murder people because God exists" can help to prevent bloodshed. Antiracism is responsible for 9/11: most of the hijackers and terrorists involved were on watchlists and were reported for behaving suspiciously (in one case, learning how to fly but not land a plane) prior to the Event, but weren't investigated because of policies that were meant to discourage 'irrational' rcial profiling.

Also, there is a huge difference between you yourself not wanting to associate with certain people because you are a racist, and trying to change society into having a system which forcibly relocates or murders everyone who doesn't fit the majority ethnic group in the area.

I very much doubt that this is their reasoning.

>the holocaust does not just*
Also, the other "fascist" parties are not "fascist" parties except Mussolini.
Mosley, Franko, and so on were all their own political ideologies that fit their country.

Your point is irrelevant.

Nazi tyranny and the Holocaust are the same thing now? Five million is a minority, six million is the majority. Get your facts straight.
>>
>>410942
First off, six million is not the accepted number anymore. The offical holocaust institutes recognize that the number of deaths for jews is closer to 5.1 million.
And that the holocaust is not JUST the liquididation that occurred in death camps, but the totality of the events of civillian targeting and executions, of which, people other than Jews were the primary victims of.

This is basic holocaust historu, you are a holocaust denier if you oppose this.

If you claim Heidegger's support for the Nazi Party is irrelevant to his philosophy, you are claiming one of three things:

1) Heidegger was a chimp typing at a keyboard who didn't understand what he wrote.
2) Heidegger was acting under bad faith, either when he wrote his philosophy, or when he supported the Nazi Party (the historical evidence certainly points to the first case being easier to maintain).
3) Heidegger's philosophy is useless an irrelevant to matters of ethics, aesthetics, and the core question of how we should live our lives.

OK, but the Jews were targeted in a way that Poles and Slavs weren't. The Germans hated Jews.
>>

Everyone hated jews in Europe, because most were much more wealthy than the averaged impoverished unemployed German or Polish or Spanish during the time period. and Poles and Russians were targeted MORE because they were considered POWs. They were occupied. More of them died.
Civilians lined up in the streets and mowed down, buried into mass graves.
Those polish didn't have the luxury to even get a chance to survive.

Stop touting American propaganda, visit another country like Poland and see a more balanced view.
All in all, it was a mass suffering; but it was not a uniquely JEWISH suffering.

I didn't say it was unique, I said the Jews were specifically persecuted differently from other groups
Europe being antisemitic isn't am excuse, it just speaks lowly about Europe

>persecuted
Oh brother.
I will say this, everyone gets what they deserve friend.
The Jews got the holocaust, the Germans got Dresden and Hamburg and having their entire national identity crushed.
China got Nanking, Japan got two nuclear wamos, and America got 9/11.

The cause of the holocaust was an increasing radicalization of the leaders, not the general population who would just joke about jews and "their ways".

There were like half a dozen 'death camps'. On the other hand there were hundreds of labor camps and concentration camps
