Philosophy 2557F/G Lecture 7: Heidegger 1
Document Summary
Western culture tries to preserve life and avoids death. Ethical questions come along with keeping people alive with the aid of iv"s etc. Grief of others dying is how we shape and understand our own death. H says no one can die for you" ( blue = a film to draw on in next assignment ) Can draw on secondary texts, not required. Can think about death through blue can draw on a theme not offered as long as you run it by mme: you withdrawal from the world when experiencing extreme grief (same as when you"re physically ill) Blue: she gets pulled into the world again against her wishes by lucaire, eventually her friend/lover does too, and her passion for music never dies. Find 1-2 places in 1-2 texts and really focus on that theme i. e. freedom, death, etc. try to think what precisely are they saying about it: tell them, bring 2 things together!
