Being & Time

We can see from our critique of Zizek’s ahistorical presentation of Lacan one of the reasons that Heidegger is important.

If we follow the hypothesis that Sartre is the vanishing mediator between Lacan and Heidegger then I think we can make some headway in…

The oblivion of Sartre for Zizek

I have now finally finished my reading of both Kisiel (The Genesis of Heidegger’s B&T) and Crowell (Husserl, Heidegger, and the Space of…

We have suggested that there should be a mathematically based model of the Worldview.

So how do you find a model of the Western Worldview if all you know is that there are ten schemas, seven standings, four aspects?

Here is a conundrum: If we do not have an idea about the structure of the Western Worldview then we cannot understand the structures of…

Andy Clark in Supersizing the Mind : Embodiment, Action, and Cognitive Extension (Oxford University Press, NY, 2008) mentions the H word, i…
