Episode 7: Inauthentic Life

Back to everyday life – This is not a philosophy of culture – Idle talking, gossiping, scribbling, updating – Curiosity, the delight in sight - Concupiscence, eye-lust - The horror of liveliness (Hedda Gabler) - Flirting and the phenomenology of the sexy – Ambiguity, the speed of life – Everything means something else – Being against one another – Falling is not bad – Tempting – Tranquilizing (cultural exoticism, Western Buddhism) – Alienating (self-deception) – Entangling (the triumph of the therapeutic) – Turbulence (groundless floating) – The structure of thrownness – Not a night view of Dasein, but day-time.

What is Apply-Degger?

Not another Ted talk. Apply-Degger is a podcast series by the Onassis Foundation made for people who are curious, serious and interested, but who simply don’t have the time to sit down and read the 437 densely-written pages of Heidegger’s philosophical book. Slow down, take your time, open your ears and think deeply. Hosted by Simon Critchley.
