spring 2025

The month has been productive here, but more productive offline, nearing completion of an agenda which I’ve been developing for a long while. All of the Heidegger discussions linked below were sidetrips occasioned by happenstances, unrelated to my main project, a new way, a very long way, made of elemental discussions which will accumulate into large scale ventures which the elements are designed to serve.

Heidegger was not a "mystical" philosopher

---

Common practice by Heidegger scholars mystifies what he was doing. But his calling is kindred with asking: What is the meaning (the significance, the meaningfulness) of being alive? That can be quite a mystery. But it’s resolvable, person by person, without supernaturalism.

Of course, questions of meaningfulness can scale to any horizon of interest, though beginning immanently was Heidegger's idea.

But if you happen to want to venture highly, what’s it like to be on a good path? This short discussion isn’t the answer. But the bridgework for teaching is interesting to entertain.
