Take classes with me - https://reasonio.teachable.com/ This Core Concept video focuses on Martin Heidegger's lecture "What Is Metaphysics?" and examines his exposition of the relationship of what he terms "the Nothing", and the freedom and selfhood of Dasein, or human being. In our action, our choices, and even in our very way of being, we are, as Heidegger says, held out into the Nothing. And we engage in nihilitative comportments, behaviors, or attitudes, as our way of being in the world. If you'd like to support my work producing videos like this, become a Patreon supporter!
