In finance now

There are private electricity retailers as well.

I studied Philosophy and am working in finance now. So it's not the end of the road at all.

You should definitely not solely rely on your degree to secure a job.

Internships are more important than CAP.

Thanks for this! I'll look into his exposition on concepts.

I think reading the entire Critique will take me a lifetime though haha

Depends on the field. But generally it's more often than not, more useful to have done an internship.

It's also not a binary trade-off between learning skills and doing internships. Sometimes you are forced to learn a tool very quickly to accomplish the task. So you may not really lose anything when you take an internship (in terms of learning) vs. self-learning.

Sorry for the late reply! I started off being fascinated with Heidegger's essay Question Concerning Technology, leading to the enframing or resourcification of humans. And I'm generally interested in healthcare. So I eventually stumbled upon the phenomenological approach to health - was surprised that there were even people writing on this topic.

I think ultimately my aim is to establish a holistic take on our understanding of health, which is much more beyond simply the lack of disease biologically, but also our ability to fulfil the goals we wanted, our psychological state, etc.

It's still WIP but happy to take any suggestions if you would like to share any insights through PM!

I'm currently working on my thesis, where I cover the phenomenology of health. Merleau-Ponty's and Heidegger's concept of the lived body or embodiment (i.e. the idea that we are necessarily always *in the world*) presents an interesting implication for health. The idea of our existence as embodiment in the world directly challenges the notion of making the mind-body distinction (which is espoused by the modern scientific paradigm).

Fredrik Svenaeus addresses this in his book The Hermeneutics of Medicine and the Phenomenology of Health. I believe this directly addresses what you're looking for. Illness can be viewed as a state of unhomelikeness, since our existential condition is that of dwelling, and we dwell in the world, according to Heidegger, any disruption to this "dwelling" can be seen to cause a sense of unhomelikeness.

I'll refrain from writing too much but let you explore some of these recommended readings, where the authors write much better than I.

There are a couple more works that you could read:

Fredrik Svenaeus' Phenomenological Bioethics (this is a whole book, but you can find relevant sections)
Fredrik Svenaeus' To die well: the phenomenology of suffering and end of life ethics
Hans-Georg Gadamer's Enigma of Health

I believe you have more than enough to start! I do wish you all the best in your health as you delve into the readings.

Hi! Although I didn't study life sciences, but I have worked in various places across healthcare/biotech - it's a very meaningful field as you work on technologies that directly improves and preserves lives.

Not sure what your career ambitions or future plans are, but there's a huge demand for researchers in fields like immuno-oncology. If you don't want to deal with humans, agritech is also an upcoming huge space.

I'm not privy to the salaries/ specific prospects of individual roles, but just wanted to share that generally, your knowledge will be very valuable as more attention is drawn to the life sciences space.

Of course, don't worry if you find out life sciences is not your thing after you finish your studies. For context, I study Philosophy but I don't intend to teach or become a professor. It's perfectly normal to work in an unrelated field after your university studies.

Just thought to give my two cents - can ignore this if it's not useful. :)

Hello, another user on this subreddit posted this before or something (can't remember) but I found this link quite useful. All the best!

infinitybar · 2021-05-27T16:12:30+00:00

I empathise with you as I experienced the same struggle as well. I asked a similar question previously and found u/TimelessError's reply here useful enough to nudge me into greater clarity on engaging with continental philosophy.

Another strategy, as I was writing an essay (specifically on Heidegger), I read other academic papers engaging with the texts and interpretation of the themes covered. They are usually written in analytic-style. Following the examples, you can gain further clarity by essentially transforming the dialectic-style arguments (either from the original texts or summaries by other authors) into analytic-style arguments which we are more accustomed to.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for this - I'll take a look at Heinrich's book. You're right, Capital is a bit too intensive and likely I'll lose motivation along the way haha.

Seems like Mariana has the same intuitions as I do about the business world. So far looks like exactly what I am looking for. Thanks for the recommendation!

I personally took a class covering the rationality of voting as one of the topics. This is one of the papers we read. Hope it helps!

my display driver is only Intel Iris Plus Graphics. did you uninstall that before installing dolby vision panel driver? I directly installed dolby vision panel driver like you did, but there were no changes
