03/23/2003 Entry: "Loohcs Etah I"
Tomorrow at 12:30PM I have an eight page Metaphysics essay due that's worth 40% of my final mark. I still haven't started it. Here's what I'm writing it on. :/
Heidegger says that in 20th Century European cultures the word "Being" is taken to be so abstract that it is virtually empty of meaning. But Heidegger says that we can retrieve from earlier cultures a deeper and more concrete meaning for the term. What are the arguments for these two views and which is stronger? What is the meaning of "Being" that Heidegger thinks he finds? What is your view of the meaning of the word "Being"?
Hooray for all-nighters.
