Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth

 





Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

Matthew 6:19-21

Martin Heidegger: Being and Time




 

Martin Heidegger is arguably the most important philosopher in the past 150 years or so. Being and Time completely transformed the collective thinking around thought, existence, and our conception of time and it's relation to the human condition. He threw a wrench right in the middle of modern, enlightenment era thinkers, and their practice of ontology. He transformed the backdrop in which we analyze philosophy forever. 

This is the first video in a three part series over Heidegger.

Arthur Schopenhauer - Bryan Magee and Frederick Copleston (1987)

  
Frederick Copleston and Bryan Magee discuss the work of the 19th century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer in this 1987 program. 

Schopenhauer is perhaps most famous for his extreme pessimism. Seeing the world as something horrific and bleak, he urged that we turn against it. 

As a follower of Immanuel Kant, he took space, time, and causality to be, not things-in-themselves, but categories of the mind through which we interpret and make sense of things. 

However, in contrast to Kant, Schopenhauer argued that reality must ultimately be one, a single unified whole which essentially involves "Will". 

There are several remarkable things about him, including the fact that he was the only major Western philosopher to draw serious and interesting parallels between Western and Eastern thought, as well as being the first major philosopher to openly identify as an atheist. 

He had a significant influence on many great thinkers and artists, including Nietzsche, Freud, Wittgenstein, and Wagner. 

The arts were particularly important for Schopenhauer as well, not only because he thought they give us a glimpse into the underlying reality, but because they help us to escape our individuality.
