Heudegger (and Woodstock)

[ChrisD(RJ)]

To add to what has already been said, I think (in my
unexpert opinion and having only studied "Being and
Time" in group) that
the way in which Heidegger touched popular culture the
most (and I am not talking about his naziism...I am
talking about how he touched popular culture in an
enduring way) is through the notion of
"authenticity"...that each person should make a
project
of his/her life free as possible from the tyranny of
the "they", Das Man.

^^^^^^^^

CB: This seems a type of individualism.  How is this original with Heidegger
?
-------------------------------
I wouldn't call Heidegger an individualist (though he has often been
interpreted in that way in pop analysis). In BT, authentic individual
existence is bound up with authentic communal existence as part of the
"destiny of the people."
