What do you like about Heidegger? |
good question
i agree with him on being... what it means to be
i find the verb to be uniquely particular especially in its English declension |

| I read Heidegger in a few semesters. Basic Writings and Poetry, Language, Thought. Some of his stuff is interesting to me and other parts are just entirely baffling... |

| plus the fact he influenced a lot of my other favorites like derrida, sartre, focault, etc... |

So why did you drop out? From your remarks in this thread it seems like you don't think philosophy to be entirely worthless. |

ahh well i love philosophy i just can't stand being surrounded by those people
and i never ever went to class i just read the books and got pretty damn good marks, so i felt i was wasting time and money. You know like in Good Will Hunting.
"See, the sad thing about a guy like you is in 50 years you're gonna staht doin some thinkin on your own and you're gonna come up with the fact that there are two certaintees in life. One, don't do that. And Two, you dropped a hundred and fifty grand on a in education you coulda got for a dollah fifty in late chahges at the public library." |

Having completed my degree I sort of feel that way as well, although I don't think my education would have been as disciplined or as comprehensive if I had used only a library. |
