A couple of years, I came across Günter Figal's lectures "Heidegger in Modernity" given at the University of Freiburg. In this episode, I begin some of the insights I have gleaned from them, in particular, focusing on the essentializing motif in Heidegger, i.e., the stress on the simple and the essential. As in other instances, my take on Figal's take on Heidegger is refracted through the theme of the craft of living.UPDATES00:32  The Craft of Living review04:47  Rich Roll's Interview with Scott Barry Kaufman on TranscendenceEPISODE11:32  Figal's Heidegger Lectures14:16  Heidegger's Influence18:55  Heidegger's Rejection of Academic Philosophy23:42  Heidegger's Influence Outside the Academy26:33  Heidegger as Modern Philosopher35:33  Figal contra Habermas on Defining Modernity40:02  Heidegger's Hut41:42  Thoreau's Hut; Walden Quote45:42  Heidegger's Quote on Winter Night and PhilosophyREFERENCES AND BACKGROUND MATERIALBarry Scott Kaufman, TranscendGünter Figal, Heidegger in der ModerneRich Roll Podcast Interview with Scott Barry Kaufman * * * * * NEW TO THE CHANNEL? Hi, I am Ante Jeroncic, and on this channel, I explore the overlapping spaces where philosophy, wisdom traditions, spirituality, and self-development literature meet on the question of flourishing life.Support the show
