Re: man walks with forked paths

Mr. Pennamacoor,

But a good greek philosopher said:

I do not mean that beings are deceptions: I said that your metaphysical
explanation is quite deceiving.

This is technically false.

There is no "nature" of Dasein in Heidegger. Your reading is still too
metaphysical.

What do you think about the influence of Hermann Cohen's "being as problem"
conceptions in Heidegger's thought?

>In 'Conversation on a country path' Heidegger has a scholar realise

These Heidegger's words are very close to Ortega y Gasset's conception of
life and circumstance.

>Let us think.
Good!
