On Being and Time: The Step Through The War And The Existence

Few personalities of human thought, despite his reputation or his conception of matter, fail to make a change of great magnitude in the lives of humans and form a complete wave of thought whose force survives the test of time. However, Heidegger Maritina can, without doubt, be placed in this exclusive line of the great shapers of the minds of society. Coming from a regular family in Germany next to the twentieth century, the early training received Heidegger was one of the most crucial factors in their future and brilliant career in the pursuit of understanding. All those who still remember the young Heidegger can not find a more appropriate term to describe that "charismatic?, A quality that opened doors in their academic and professional improvement. Apparently satisfied with faith, Heidegger bent as a field of academic study to theology later changed careers in mathematics and, finally, philosophy, specific decision by a sudden decrease in divine devotion. But this does not only affect the course of his life, but many more and it was here, really, where the Hegelian tradition was born to stay.

Heidegger had the great fortune to rub shoulders with brilliant minds ideologies and influential of the time during your stay at the University of Freiburg. One of these personalities was Professor Edmund Husserl, a famous name and the hallways of the founding philosophy and the philosophy of phenomenology. Heidegger became a student and colleague of Professor Husserl, who promoted the career of Heidegger and served as a contribution towards their great works ... a rather unusual way. Heidegger was also marked by the process of war. During this period remained isolated from the battlefield as much as he could. It was also during this time when he met the woman who would become his wife until the end of his days. A dark stage of reformation for mankind was not much less for him. Heidegger is constantly isolated in a house in the woods where he spent time with him and his family. In these troubled stays out of the "civilization?, Heidegger would start work on that would be considered his masterpiece, Being and Time. Being and Time is a huge influence on modern existentialism and writers and thinkers such as Jean-Paul Sartre. It has been said out there that Heidegger is an intellectual who changes the way of seeing things, either positively or negatively, either accepted or rejected, after Heidegger's thought is another.

This phenomenon is observed his work, where Heidegger expresses a strong critique of phenomenology, the famous work of his teacher Husserl, to such an extent that almost completely dismantles the idea. Still, Being and Time builds a revolutionary idea even about the very existence of human beings. There is talk of being a verb and a noun, it questions the true meaning of being where the action arises what do you really mean to be? Or, as Heidegger puts it, we're getting carried away by the convention of the word? These questions put us in an intellectual predicament as we approach the opposition to say, do we have the degree of existence that we understand how the simple act of "being here? or we can find the relationship of this misunderstood word to other factors of the human dimension? For Heidegger, the weather was this direct link with the self and the canvas on which to sketch the existence began. Thus, Heidegger questions the significance of space as a determinant of our existence, that is, leaving aside the concept of the Cartesian coordinates where you can find the body and seeks tangible place that which transcends these physical barriers.

Being, therefore, is a process of change, a process of becoming something else: constant change. This is where the relationship begins to be seen, as being, therefore, be determined more by hope, by the will and the constant change, rather than by sight empirically observable. Being and Time shows the effect this has on willingness to change human beings. He mentions that we all live in front, ie, always with an eye to the future: the goals that we reach, in that in which we want to convert or simply what will happen to us later. Therefore, we could divide by being in the temporal and connect themselves with the concepts of time as the past (that from which we started), the present (the process of achieving what you want) and future (the goal to we want to reach). This brings a strong critique of modern society which, according to Heidegger, tends to forget its existence and dimension to trivialize the concept of being. This company lost all sense of individuality and self-affirmation of existence, where it enters the questioning of the sense of time.

Also, speaking of the influence of Heidegger is also necessary to mention his relationship with the political world. A chapter that, while considered a bit dark for many, speaks of the extent of the effect of the ideas forged throughout his life. Heidegger maintained a close relationship with the Nazi party during World War II. This position frankly surprised many of his followers and finalized a division between the idol and ideology. While the late Heidegger were almost purely pragmatic, unconditional support which seemed to show the Nazi ideology was overwhelmingly a radical factor of change in their environment. Heidegger began to assimilate party ideas and implement them, something that caused a rift with people from his past as Husserl, who replaced as head of the rector of the university's philosophy which, in pursuit of anti-Semitic thought, away from all communication with them. However, his own ambitions and always dominated their particular character, even under the Nazi regime, their determinations. Criticized by many today, Heidegger believed that the Nazi party was not sure with its allies, namely, that so great and perfect ideology (as conceived), would not survive under the charge of those who were leading, since they were able, in his view, to sustain such complete ideology.

That was how he fell into the habit (madness, for some) to believe that the Nazi movement needed a great thinker to lead them to victory, a deep thinker to be advised (or control) and make sure that Hitler's ideology would not be in decline, someone whose efforts become the greatest thinker of all time ... someone who was, as so clearly indicates, as he is. Still, Heidegger, as already mentioned, is one of the ablest thinkers of modern times and has made a great pattern on the philosophy that managed to reform the way to do it. It has revolutionized virtually any other area of ​​humanist thought and theology, psychology, critical thinking and hermeneutics, to name a few. Similarly, Heidegger created a new consciousness with his theory of being: a thought which invites us to analyze and explore life in society's existence in order to reaffirm the self (individual, indivisible and only) without forgetting our : a life in community without losing oneself in the process. The new relationship with ample time and inspiration born of Being and Time is part of an invaluable cultural heritage for the development of humanity.

Because who knows? Perhaps this view is correct and Heidegger always revolutionizes the ways of thinking, one way or the other.
