[lbo-talk] Grappling with Heidegger

[Charles Brown]

andie nachgeborenen :
Still misses the point. H is not a stoic or some such
talking about how to overcome fear of death. Fear of
death is not his interest. (Unlike, for example,
Hegel, in talking about master and slave.) It's rather
more like, given that we get one short trip, 70 years
(a prize for anyone who can identify the quotation),
the way we live, immersed in busy-ness and
every-dayness, enmeshed in merely instrumental action,
is -- he wouldn't put it this way -- against our
interest. Bad.

^^^^^
CB: Surely he gives us a hint at what would be the better way to live.  What
are more of the details of a life not enmeshed in instrumental action ?

 The source of the quotation above is
actually pretty good on thsi, though its focus is a
bit different from H's.
