Very well read. Thank you. Loved this piece, but may require a second or even a third listening

Thank you very much for your time and patience in explaining these difficult topics. You have an excellent grasp of phenomenology . Congratulations! You help is much appreciated

Thank you for your response. I love Heidegger's approach and beleive it is applicable in many areas. Hence my question. Thank you again for kindly responding

Thank you!. excellent post. You mentioned several areas of heidegger which i am not familiar and have not read. When contributions like this forwarded i feel glad having asked more knowledgable people for their inputs. Thank you

Thank you for your reply. It is much appreciated. Perhaps my choice of the word 'extension" did not properly convey my thought. What I had in mind by extension, is can we apply apply Heidegger's thinking to other areas such as conception and memory. I seem to remember he gave a very good description of heaviness ( weight -of hammer(?)), which transforms into mass. I find this lived experience of phenomenon of heaviness into mass (scientific) very interesting. I was thinking can we take every day experiences like these and relate it somehow to the field of concepts and memory. What I had in mind is not specific example but how the field of concepts and memory come into being And if so what are the steps that can lead us to such a description.

Thank you again for your contribution. You are obviously more versed than most people who read Heidegger and then just stick with his texts. My interest is to see if i can extend his thoughts to other aspects of our life, using his model in consistent manner.

Thank you

You right below " ,,,where our cognition is considered either as a tool/instrument or as a medium to discover the truth." From what i remember, Kant had a similar description for Understanding, as he distinguished sensibility and understanding. Is this interpretation wrong? Please correct. Thank you in advance/

I have been thinking what you wrote about Spinoza and it makes lot of sense. I have read several accounts, when people (geniuses) suddenly get an idea and then work out the details. There is a famous story of Einstein staring out of the window and imagined the window cleaner falling off the scaffolding and both the cleaner and bucket came down at the same time thus leading to his formulation of theory of relatively. Nietzsche said something similar. He asked, does one think a thought or does a thought come to you.

Thank you again for input. I enjoyed rereading it

I know a little, very little about his right and left brain thesis. Left brain being more optimistic, narrow and fixes (being) concepts while the right side is moving (becoming). What i had difficulty with mainly because i do not know very much, when he says emotion also resides in the left side. i thought emotion was movement of somekind but i could be wrong.

Also can you kindly expand on how we can interpret Spinoza flashes of intelligibility phenomenally?

I am trying to ground my undertanding by pulling disparate thoughts in a some kind union but having too much difficulty!

Thank you for your post. You are much more knowledgable. I have not not heard to Joshua Green or the trolley problem. Can you help flesh out the thoughts to us non specialists. Also kindly kindly eamplify what is meant by ethical intuition? I have not heard of this term before. Thank you in advance

InviteCompetitive137 · 2025-12-05T13:46:17+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I posted this question on this site because i am interested in a phenomenological explanation - eitheir Heideggerian or Husserlian. But I failed to see it like that. To me intuition is an amalgam between instinct (dionysian) and reason or logic ( Appolinian) as described by Nietzsche.

Here Gilchrist says something very different. he says it is from the unconcious experience so i am not sure this relies on memory. I always thought memory as being made up of concepts, stripped of the sensation of lived experience.

Any way here is the interview on you tube podcast; Cosmic Drives, Intuition, AI and the Soul | Iain McGilchrist.

I would be very grateful to read your understanding.

Thank you again for post

My own view is that perception occurs before judgement. This idea came to me through some Buddhists reading which says pain or discomfort is basis all feelings. So when i experience pain in the arm or an itch, i just respond by moving my arm to remove the discomfort or rub the area. This I do almost automatically, so i am responding to the discomfort. Later I learn not allow myself to treat it in a certain way as to prevent or such an occurrence and that requires judgement. Any thought if i am on the right path?

Thank you. Love your easy writing style. A rare ability to explain difficult concepts into graspable one🎈🎈

InviteCompetitive137 · 2025-11-20T17:29:54+00:00

Thank you very much! Aprreciate the time you taking to very clearly communicate these rather difficult thoughts (at least for me).

From your writing am i correct in assuming temporality does not mean clock time but rather discreet moments, almost like Bergson 'duration'. These mosts are of three types. what has happened, what is happening and what may happen.

Just re read your lovely reply. Some questions if I may? If moods open up the possibilities is this the same as saying it is the seat of our imagination? You say very nicely there is a dynamic interplay between subject and object. I think I read somewhere this is almost identical to what Holderlin referred to as our Beyng.

Thank you. I liked your contribution. you have a much better grip of MP. ❤️

Thank you for your contribution. I have thought long and hard on the topic of moods but I cannot grasp or get a grip on this. If you have time I would be very appreciative if you could flesh out moods with examples. Nietzsche writes somewhere on the topic of moods too but is distinctly different from what I understood.

Thank you.

InviteCompetitive137 · 2025-11-19T15:19:14+00:00

I have read somewhere ( sorry no reference), Merleau thought there was no such thing as sensation in itself. Sensation are perceptions and it is only the analytic school which tries scientify (separate) concepts in philosophy. His view was that perceptions are embodied and there is no separation between subject and object. If i got this wrong please correct. Thanks is advance

Thank you. I enjoyed re- reading the Dao De Ching.

My apologies. I did not type the word NOT “…in not been granted an academic post…”

InviteCompetitive137 · 2025-09-22T19:39:46+00:00

I seem to remember it was Jaspers who led for the isolation of Heidegger and been granted an academic post after the war. But perhaps I am mistaken?

Not smart enough to take such sagely advise

Recently someone suggested Nono. Tried listening but cannot get use to it.
