Heidegger Flashcards
Dasein
The way in which humans exist
True or false: Dasein has a relationship with everything else in the world and must not misinterpret this relationship.
True
When do relationships go wrong?
When you don’t relate to something for what it actually is.
Would Heidegger agree with this?
1) Philosophy deploys reason to explain relationships.
2) Theology views them from the faith perspective.
No. This is the wrong way to compare them because theology is better explained with a different word since this argument relates specifically to Christianity.
Why is God not placed in the theology ring?
Because God does not HAVE to be in a theology concepts- there are other religions.
Ontology
The study of being
Phenomenology
Coming to grips with beings as they appear and how they show themselves
Wissenchoft
