What is Phenomenology? The Philosophy of Husserl and Heidegger
Vložit
- čas přidán 15. 05. 2024
- The Phenomenology philosophy is a school of philosophy that originated in the 20th century. With Edmund Husserl Phenomenology was born but it was the phenomenology Heidegger innovated that reoriented the course of European philosophy.
The Phenomenology of Husserl and Heidegger (whose respective philosophies are called Transcendental Phenomenology and Existential Phenomenology) does not seek after external objective truth-as philosophy and science generally do-phenomenology strives for subjective truth-in Husserl’s case it is an attempt to make a subjective science of consciousness. Husserl developed a method for attaining this truth which involves reducing away the noise so as to isolate the essence of a phenomenon. Heidegger parted from Husserl saying that phenomenology could not be a science with knowledge because the meaning of a phenomenon is context-dependent. Heidegger moves from Husserl’s epistemological project to an ontological program.
There is a growing scholarship looking at the connection between phenomenology and eastern philosophy. It is even said that Heidgger was influenced in his conception of Dasein as being-in-the-world through a German commentator on Taoist philosopher Chuang-tzu.

I studied philosophy as both an undergrad and for a Master's, with a focus on metaphysics, and the core of it ended up being Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty. It took the better part of 3 years for me to get my head around what I was reading, but it fascinated me enough to keep trying. It felt like a major accomplishment to understand it, even if only enough to articulate it without butchering its real meaning too badly. In some sense, I am glad not to have had such a clear and focused description as you provide here, since the gratification of figuring it out myself was a profoundly important part of the development of my capacity to understand the complex/obscure; but I wonder now, 30+ years later, if a sprinkling of your hand-holding wouldn't have made me a much better thinker still. In any event, kudos to you for boiling it down so well.
Wow Daniel that is very high praise I'm genuinely humbled. And I can definitely see where you're coming from about getting there yourself I still remember the buzz I got from figuring out how calculus worked as a teenager and having this beautiful clean eureka moment where everything became clear. Wading through the weeds and coming to clarity is definitely one of life's most fulfilling experiences
@Mephistopheles MERLEAU-PONTY: A GUIDE
FOR THE PERPLEXED by ERIC MATTHEWS helped me get a foothold on understanding his work. Good luck on your intellectual odyssey.
If I could teleport you to the top of Mt. Everest it wouldn't feel as good as if you had climbed it yourself.
I am ridiculously gratified by your articulation and perspective. 🤓 I just love human beings being human beings at their seeking, communicating best. 🙏
I have a perspective of the Great Thinkers, in my concept, these tend to be Philosophers, and Quantum Physicists.
I believe those whom are truly adept at these two subjects overwhelmingly are using "Whole Brain Thought" = generally using both lobes in tandem.
These two subjects literally exercise the mind, such that one can almost feel the expansion, the stretching, pushing the Critical Mind forward.
I wonder, what would be experienced when engaging in this level of Thought just after a daily practice of Meditation. The purpose/intention of the Meditation be specifically the Quieting the Mind for Alignment with the Higher Self/Soul/Inner Being.
For there exists nothing that can't be achieved with our:
*"Thoughts + Feelings X Beliefs"*
= *"Our Vibrational Frequency"*
This, as defined by the "Universal Law of Attraction" is the formula for our "attracting the like Vibe Frequency" ie: Manifesting our Reality.
The Human Physical Mind is a Receiver, a Receiver of Thoughts from the Field of Consciousness, and it has what is necessary for Critical Thinking, and Cognitive Thought.
On the point that "our brains are Receivers", I shall quickly mention that I have come to understand, the larger part of our Soul/Higher Self/Inner Being, remains in Nonphysical (other side of the veil, another plane, and Higher Plane/Higher Dimension.)
It is focused on us at all times, and routinely is sending us signals, thoughts, ideas, directions, etc. We assume they are our ideas.
While in alignment the ideas flow with ease.
There are some actually good short tests that can gauge ones tendency to apply more left, right, or whole brain thought.
My score routinely is at 51 - 49 which is obviously in the whole brain thought zone.
My degrees are in Sociology, History, and Journalism, with post grad studies, including some General Quantum Physics.
Math lacks interest for me and was never my fav class. I prefer to study their Findings! Matter of fact I took Logic and Philosophy to avoid Calculus, and those were 2 of the best value classes that have served me throughout my career.
They should be Required for all Degrees!
Best Thoughts and Wellbeing !
PS: Are you familiar with Dr Raymond Moody? An MD, PhD, I adore that man! (Philosophy and Psychiatrist)
Another of my fav is Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD (Metaphysics)
A mind can be taught to avoid fear and all the Lower Mind negative energies. (Why this isn't practiced is beyond me.)
The clearest distinction between the two philosophers I’ve heard. Great explanation.
Ah wow thanks James that's great to hear!
Agreed. A great explanation.
You have a gift for teaching. Many people may know a subject but ramble in a disjointed, chaotic manner. You have an ability to summarize an essence, organize and present it.
Thank you so much!
After listening I have found, that my knowledge of the the essence of all things always has been and I am tuning into it.
Thanks.
Hes prepared, and its felt
"They [Chakras] are maps of the first person's experience of subjective energy in the body". Fascinating mix of Western & Eastern Philosophy. Deeply enjoyed the video!
Thanks Eternalised! Yeah that was a continuing on from my own explorations in previous episodes. It's just lovely when the lights go on and the dots connect and you get that juicy aha moment!
@@TheLivingPhilosophy 9:42 "Anatomically speaking, there is no heart chakra or third eye chakra to be found." Of course there is. Yes, those are first person labels, which begs the question, what then are the third person structures? The nervous and endocrine systems. Great video, thanks.
The chakra system is - ancient meditational knowledge - ancient.
And modern meditators - know this - all to well.
Try it - for other experiences - than just stringing words together.
Fare thee well.@@bonpsy2584
I just sat in a three hour lecture about this and was more confused when I left than when it started. Now its crystal clear! Thank you!
Haha wow that makes me so happy (not the three hour lecture part of course) I'm delighted something I did made it somewhat easier to understand!
Extremely well-made video. The information is presented clearly without any unnecessary details, yet it's really detailed. I love how informative it is without being too long or missing the key points in phenomenology
Thank you Martin that's high praise! Couldn't ask for a better reception!
You are rapaz in Twitter ?
@@pedromontilva9975 no lol
I've been looking into phenomenology for WEEKS and had not found a concise *example* of the phenomenological method being used until this video. That feature, as well as the broad history through Kant to Husserl to Heidegger, the concise distinction made between transcendental vs existential phenomenology, and the connection to Eastern traditions were very well executed. Thank you!
That's brilliant to hear Nottt! I felt the same and was wading through weeds of confusion when doing the research so I'm glad this makes it a little clearer for someone else as well
@@TheLivingPhilosophy Question. How would one know if one were naturally inclined toward a phenomenological bent of mind?
This partially explains the enthusiasm of some of the best Japanese philosophers about phenomenology and its prolific development in Japan throughout the years. There is a good introductory article to the theme, called "Japanese Phenomenology", by Taru Tani (2015).
Wow thanks for the recommendation Danilo that makes a lot of sense.
Its quite popular here in china as well
Amazing explanation, you should do this with other philosophical movements as well. It would give everyone a great oversight of philosophy as a whole!
Thanks Lenie! That's a great idea. Daunting as hell but that could be a really cool project
My very thoughts .
I must confess that it is indeed very clear and fine presentation of the philosophical schools of thought . Great production ! Thank you 👏
The capacity for error here is huge. It's an interesting theory and explanation for some of the mental constructs used even in psychology, such as ego, but huge capacity for error. The thing to remember is that phenomenology doesn't discover, it invents.
Your delivery of such a deep truth is spoken at a level for the subconscious to grasp. Thank you. Believing that phenomenology is the root to pure consciousness. Looking within, facing fear and insecurities that were created from external influences in childhood, lifting away, peeling away at what was never ours to begin with. Beneath our fears we will discover our greatest strengths.
Hi thank you for this excellent summary. I have followed a Vipassana 10 day retreat and yes it is about observing without judging and I am a Family constellations practitioner and the main root of this practice is phenomenology or observing with the awareness that just by observing we change the experience.
Oh really that's really interesting. I feel like I've heard of family constellations but certainly have no depth. Sounds great to have something that overlaps with the vipassana as well
9:55 I loved your story about vipassana & your ideas about how vipassana involves bracketing. This section of the video was truly a shining gem.
I really hope you explore these ideas in-depth someday. I’d watch the heck outta that 🙏🏽
Hands down the clearest explanation of phenomenology I found (and, well, the first one I fully understood), you are amazing. Subscribed.
I have just tried numerous podcasts, articles and books about phenomenology and this is the only one that made sense!
Thank you. Your channel popped up and I guess the algorithm nailed it. Having listened to John Verveike’s Awakening From the Meaning Crisis series which opened up new ways of thinking and an interest in philosophy, your channel is a perfect continuation of my current journey. Looking forward to more!
I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed the video and I consider a great honour to be put in the same category as John Vervaeke so thank you for that!
Kudos for having grasped the the multi-faceted essence of phenomenology, explaining it clearly and concisely - and doing so in an inviting, humble manner.
You could teach other educators your process to everyone’s benefit.
Thanks Stephen those are some kind words
This is a clear and succinct break down once again. Maybe it's because I'm from Liverpool that I find your communicative style easy to grasp, it's straight to the point no frills. I'm getting a lot from your channel. Well done mate. Keep up the good work.
Your channel has taught me more than all books and other CZcams videos. You are an excellent and CONCISE speaker. Thank you for being you.
That's so nice of you to say tashy! Can't get enough of kind words like these
There’s just so much content on this but no one has done justice to it the way that you have!
Thanks Nikita! I really appreciate that!
Thank you so much for this wonderful and concise introduction to Phenomenology. Very well done and explained in clear terminology with excellent examples.
Ah I'm glad you enjoyed it so much E.J! And thank you for the kind words
thanks you so much for this explaination, i have always struggled with understanding phenomenology and your video made me understand it much clearer
You’re a wonderful narrator. Was really immersed, even though I’ve read alot of philosophy. Thank you ❤️
Thank you James, if only the husserls and heideggers could have an ounce of your clarity in explanation
Hahaha the way I think of it they were too busy pushing the boundaries; it's a lot easier to make sense when the frontier has been made more conscious
I thought heidegger was grasbable of course you're not allowed to understand it ? You can reverse the ontological structure of reality, the nature of being, in existential phenomology that's what "they' do and they have rules, their ontological difference is in a form of being-toward-death in an ontic structuring system, that means it is transforming reality in a constant format, heidegger doesn't seem to like it, you take all these courses so they don't do it again, that's a transcdental philosophy. And we just wanted to do it again to see how the ontic system of being-towards-death would reduce reality. You shouldn't have to constantly format reality in phenomological methods.
I studied phenomenology for about four decades, on and off, and could not have stated the subject better. What a phenomenal lecture!
Oh wow that's high praise thank you for the kind words!!
This is a brilliant overview. That you managed to communicate complex topics clearly with such insight, depth & clarity is very impressive. Thanks.
Thank you for making this video. You were very easy to understand and cleared up a few doubts that I had had.
Amazing. The video has ignited my interest in phenomenology. Thank you.
Delighted to hear it Samir! Couldn't ask for anything more
I am currently writing a masters using phenomenology as a basis and this video has helped me so much. I find articulating the the reversal/rejection of positivism very difficult so your video helped a lot in that regard. Your thoughts on bridging western and eastern philosophies relating to the body was beyond helpful, and makes a solid case of why phenomenology is important for the future (with a global increased awareness of meditation/mindfullness and psychological well-being)
That's so epic Daniel! Makes me so happy that this has been so helpful for you! Also delighted you found the link in with the Eastern traditions to be helpful
Phenomenal, pun intended! Only halfway through and already blown away. Thank you very much for your time and effort.
Thank you for this clear and short definition of phenomenology.
You're a phenomenal phenomenologist! Outstanding presentation.
Haha thanks Lyle
Behind every situation there’s another situation that peeps through.
Layers and meandering?
Absolutely love this channel, and the topics it explores .. keep the content coming 👏🏾
"Science is just one way of knowing. Philosophy goes a layer deeper, it is prior to science and provides it with its foundation. [...] Phenomenology is not a science, it is something more fundamental, it is an investigation into Being itself." (Heidegger's view) - Love how you put this.
“And when night comes, and you look back over the day and see how fragmentary everything has been, and how much you planned that has gone undone, and all the reasons you have to be embarrassed and ashamed: just take everything exactly as it is, put it in God's hands and leave it with Him.”
-Edith Stein
Phenomenology has always been tough for me to understand so thank you for this video.
Thanks Amygdala! I'd be the same so it was a joy to take a deep dive and try to consolidate my confused learnings
I had attended a course on phenomenology, still couldn’t make out what it was doing actually. Thank you for your crystal clear essay.
very short and very good summary of phenomenology.
very accurate choice of words to explain the concepts as clearly as possible.
good job!

great content, i apreciate your work. the western-eastern connection reminds me of ken wilber
Yeah absolutely! Another man who was a great bridge. I'm a big fan
Thank you! I've only acquired a very basic understanding of Philosophy in general. Although I'm fascinated I haven't yet grasped the finer points. Listening to explanations seems a great way to learn.
the very essence of watching this video was a quench to my thirst of understanding what and how of the process undergoing. In addition to this aboutness of my consciousness (quenched), my heart fills up with gratitude to you for this wonderful presentation.
Thank you so much Nikhil! Delighted to hear you enjoyed it so much!
I enjoyed this, thank you!
This is just my personal taste but I think I'd enjoy this more if you talked slower, adding little pauses. It always sounds as if you had very little time and needed to convey all information in two minutes if possible. At the same time, there is a quiet background music that seems to want to calm me down :) but by all means, do this series the way you like it!
Haha thanks velooopity y'know you're not the first person to say it and when I reflected on it it's a bit of feedback I'm really grateful for receiving. This sunday's video is much slower I'd love to get your thoughts on it when it comes out whether it's too slow or still too fast. Always trying to improve and this is a solid bit of advice that's come up again and again so it's much appreciated!
@@TheLivingPhilosophy I think the problem is not in your presentation, but in the speed of individual minds. It was at a pace that suited me. I think it would be better for certain folk to slow the video down using that facility. I find that if this stuff is spoken too slowly, it becomes soporific. It Is important to keep apace because there is certainly a rhythm to the process of contemplating ideas of this kind. But don't listen to me, 35,676 other viewings would suggest that it is working. Interesting how we all experience things differently. Consciousness is uniquely individualistic. Tee hee.
I found it a good pace. In other videos, I sometimes stop and replay the bit I wasn't clear about because the voice was garbled or I drifted off into a dream. Use all the tools at hand!
Thank you very much for this video. I’ve been studying phenomenology since my university days in the 1980s. I always thought that it is very similar with Buddhism & Taoism. But I can’t find books that discuss the similarities. Do you have any recommendations?
It seems not.
The core concept of Vipassana is what allowed me to detach myself from my obsessive thoughts..a six week retreat by a Guru name Dhiravamsa led me to realizing that words and beliefs prevent my 'third' eye to rise above that and be more in the physical moment. I enjoyed how you tied these ideas together.
To add my voice to the chorus of previous commenters, wonderful video! The growing interest in phenomenology gets me so excited as there are so many intersections with Eastern philosophical traditions as well as Eastern and ancient Christian thought (Maximos the Confessor and Ephraim the Syrian for example); there’s so much potential for opening new gateways to the Beautiful and the Other. If you haven’t ever watched any of Terrence Malick’s films, definitely worth checking out the Tree of Life or A Hidden Life, Heidegger has had a huge influence on him.
You have just blown my mind. I did not know Heidgegger influenced Tree of life. I've also never watched A Hidden Life so gotta get on that but Tree of Life is my all time favourite movie well if you call it a movie it's not exactly the same category as movies it's more a work of art I've watched it a half dozen times and still feel like I've yet to cut into its depths it's just god I love that movie. Anyway thank you for the kind words and the thought provoking insight and of course for pointing a way to further enrich my favourite movie
Fascinating and insightful, best explanation of the foundation of phenomenology I have heard.
but the real question is: Do you worship the shadow of Einstein?
Haha I don't think so. I mean Einstein was a smart cookie there's no doubt but I find his enshrinement on the cultural pedestal to be more psychological curious than compelling
Wow, killed it again. This is a hugely difficult topic to understand, if not the most difficult in philosophy. Excellent videos.
Thanks Drew! It was certainly a challenging one to wrap my head around but delighted to have made it through with some clarity. Thanks for the support!
This is SO cool! I can’t wait to learn more. I knew a tiny bit about Heidegger but Husserl is new to me
Came across this incidentally, lucid, informative and engaging. Enjoyed it.
Great video! It's great to have you suddenly recommended by youtube. I've a personal question: I'm currently writing a 600,000 book regarding my ideas on phenomenology and ontology. My major inspiration is Heidegger. However, I'm an autodidact in terms of philosophy and pure mathematics. I've attended lectures in mathematics and philosophy. I've an unfinished course in mathematics though I've generated a ton of theses on it. But I'm not connected with any academia in my country, Philippines. Is there a possibility that I can gain any correspondence or anything from anyone? do you have any advice from me? it will be a self-publish book.
Check out Chad Haag- regardless of your take on his ideas, you might find him a valuable voice given that he’s self-published a few books on philosophy and has put out videos on how to do so, as well as how to write philosophical work. Best of luck to you!
Thank you very much! As for your question I am also not in academia so I couldn't say for certain but my advice would be to find people out there who are close to your message and reach out to them read their work and connect the dots for them. I would suggest that if you want to break through someone's wall of busyness you gotta make it as easy as possible and reading their work shows that it's an effortful reach out. That would be my take anyway for what it's worth
@@samuelneville3150 Thanks Samuel for the suggestion! I'll do that.
@@TheLivingPhilosophy @The Living Philosophy Thanks a lot! That really makes sense. It's difficult though given my location. But yes, that's the best way. I'd send you a copy when I'm finished. Thanks again.
if the videos had English subtitles it would be better, anyway excellent video.
Apologies Gabriel I'll try and get that sorted it normally does it automatically but someone said the same to me last week so I'll have to look into it and see
To be fair , if u turn on cc ,caption sync well with his words...
This is the best summary of Phenomenology I ever saw. Thanks!
THANK YOU!😭
I'm writing a research paper and am using phenomenology as part of my theoretical framework. You've made it so much easier to understand. God bless.
Haha delighted to hear it Joseph!
Phenomenology it means beack to the origin....✍️🙏
Does it? It seems to me... That it means coming back to the present. And that becomes the origin.
Returning to das source is returning to tranquility because there is no happiness higher than rest.

And death will never touch me again.
Good 🙏 The real basis of Phenomenology is Hegel. Read phenomenology of spirit of Hegel 100 times and philosophy of right for 50 times. Then realise that both Husserel and Hiedager are intrepreting Hegel 🙏
The last couple of minutes blew me away, glad I listened to this episode!
Delighted to hear it Mattia!
I can not add any new adjectives to describe your excellent efforts and contribution to making the internet a place where Marshall McLuhan and so many others thought and hoped it would be. A place to share knowledge. Thank you sir.
Thanks a million Glen!
Fascinating. Thanks so much for sharing. Love the connection you've mentioned between this form of western philosophy and eastern philosophy.
Thanks Yannic! It's something I plan on expanding on in future because it's something that really interests me in its potential to bridge between east and west
I feel that excitement awaking in my body. This part of philosophy is pushing me deeper and deeper into strange and unknown places in my mind. And I enjoy that.
Studied this in college in one of the subject. But your video made me realize I used to love phenomenology, thanks for great explanation. Subscribed!
Thank you for the clear and methodical exposition. It gets interesting with the Eastern connection made towards the end.
Why in the world this channel doesnt have millions of subscribers? The content is amazing and great quality! Keep doing the good job!
Haha! Thanks mosawer! Hopefully someday it will! I really appreciate the support and the belief it makes life so much easier!
I have been struggling to grasp the idea of phenomenology for the past few weeks,(I'm studying literary criticism).... but now I have understood it clearly.. thank you so much! ♥️
Delighted to hear it helpd Victoria!
This is wonderful, will have to listen to it when I am not so tired. The path of philosophers in this is a path of readings and thoughts dating way back for me...
No matter how many different takes I hear about phenomenology it always ends up sounding suspicious. Yet I always want to know more about it because I think I must be missing something. Maybe the best justification for it I’ve heard is that it solves the problem of the external world. Yet it does so by simply bracketing the question of its existence. Then it borrows from Descartes the realization that our experience itself cannot be doubted to produce an odd kind of subjectivism.
I wish someone had taken up this comment and responded. Apart from praise for the excellent video presentation, the phrase "odd kind of subjectivism" seems to imply a criticism of the basic thesis, no? 😮
Terrific. Would listen to you all day. Thanks.
Came here from Anathem, thanks for the explanation!
Excellent introduction to phenomenology. Thank you. As a monk in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, i would add that meditation can be much more than simply observing what arises in our experience. It can also include distinguishing between which patterns of thought and emotion give rise to suffering and mental obscuration, and which give rise to well-being and clear insight into truth, then intentionally reducing the former and increasing the later.
This is indeed a brilliantly succinct talk.
Thank you for your response, as you say, surely meditation is Potentially far more than just being released from suffering, it is a path to divine consciousness where the individual seeks unity with God, the universe, the source of all being. And it is an interior experience that can never be fully expressed in words however eloquent. As a follower of John Todd Ferrier, a modern mystic of great profundity, it’s good to know that a Buddhist is on a similar path.
Thank You Very Much - I enjoyed your explication. When I first learned Phenomenology, I instantly recognized its value for Village Designers: i.e. "bracketing" presuppositions so that one may perceive the essence of a landscape. My dissertation ended up being entitled "Designing for Consciousness: Towards a Theory of Environmental Design Using Neurophenomenology as Methodology." I became fascinated with Francisco Varela's attempt to link 1st and 3rd person methods. Thanks again - Well Done!!!
Excellent video, thanks!
Somehow I had expected Schopenhauer to have been mentioned as well: he elaborated on the thing in itself as discussed by Kant in his “The World as Will and Representation”. Schopenhauer also discusses eastern philosophies to some extent.
Extraordinarily beautiful introduction to phenomenology. Very different from the superficiality that seems to prevail on most youtube philosophy channels right now
Wow that's a flattering comment Bogdan thank you for the kind words!
Wow- thank you. This really helps with my understanding of Heidegger and more.
10:09 I like this quote, "The work of meditation is to observe the body non-judgmentally and not to generate aversion to negative sensations or craving for positive sensations. The goal is just to observe to look at the experience objectively and experience the impermanence of sensations."
very helpful oversight to the nature and distinctions between phenomenology existential and a useful contextual framework . Thankyou!
It's a marvelous explanation, particularly between the rational and phenomenal differences.
Thanks bang bri! Glad you found it clear great feedback to get!
Thanks for uploading. Clear and concise!
Amazing! I am new to the study of European philosophers but am a student of SN Goenka and halfway through your video I thought, wow he’s describing Vipassana. Too cool, super well done 💛
Ah awesome Mary! Great to hear you having a similar resonance with it!
Beautifully covered. Thank you
Thanks a million glad you enjoyed it!
Nice! I love how you connected it with the east! I’ve always thought this myself I just didn’t know that there is literature on the subject. Thanks for the information!
So that's what it's about! Many thanks. Lots of random bits and pieces coalesce round this. Very helpful. Some opaque terminology made plain. Thanks!
Crisp and clear explanation...thank you.
Thanks Paul!
I guess I think both ways. There's a core essence and immanations of those spirits or natures. I lov the whole essentialism, it's egregore, the zeitgeists and the individual's take as the rhetorical experience over time really creates internal dialectics among the basic logic. What a very helpful video!
Thanks for the support yqa and the creative insights as ever!
Absolutely fantastic video. Clear and detailed. Thank you so much.
My pleasure Sherry! Delighted you got so much out of it!!
This video is great. I wrote my intellectual history master’s thesis on Arendt and Heidegger. I found this essay to be incredibly insightful and well-organized, especially considering the sprawling nature of phenomenology. Thanks for this.
Thanks Jeremy that's high praise!
Arendt as in Hannah Arendt?
An excellent presentation that repays several auditions. Great clarity and accessibility.
Thanks Peter!
As a literature student, right now, im blessed to find ur vds ❤. Thanks a lot, pal! Keep going ! Itz really helps.
Great video and an impressive amount of important material covered without becoming busy or overloaded.
Eye opening for a programmer like me who knows little about philosophy. Thanks!
Literally noting down your explanations verbatim. Great presentation. Thanks a ton. 🙏
Haha! So happy to hear this Dipanjan delighted it's so useful for you thanks for watching and thanks for the support!
Im falling in love with ur lectures...living FOR philosophy 💝 from these videos
That was very comprehensive. Thank you!
Brilliant 🤩 and linking it to vipassna has given me a personal relatedness to what you’re explaining. And the hot stove example was great too 🤓 thank you 🙏
Phenomenology represents a fascinating - albeit speculative - concept that requires significant additional analysis, so that one may, hopefully, reach the point when a given observer might actually divorce his senses from objective reality. Yet such undertaking is scarcely accomplished without extreme determination, for it is exceedingly challenging to "let everything go...
Thanks for the introduction. You explained it well.
Excellent video, this has helped me to get a better grip on the differences between Husserl and Heideggers systems of thought.
Delighted to hear it Johnny!
these videos are so easy to understand! keep making the great content
Thank you!
It would be interesting to see something delving deeper into differences between Husserl/Heidegger in this context
