Rick Roderick on Heidegger - The Rejection of Humanism [full length] This video is 2nd in the 8-part video lecture series, The Self Under Siege: Philosophy in the Twentieth Century (1993). Lecture notes: I. Heidegger developers a powerful account of meaning by recasting traditional talk of the self and the human into an analysis of "Dasein", literally "being there". He hopes to discard much of the baggage of the philosophical past in a kind of "deconstruction" that has, and continues to be, very influential with thinkers as diverse as Derrida, Macuse, and Sartre. II. We should not let Heidegger's infamous connect to fascism blind us to his real insights. It is sad, but true, that even very bad people may have important things to teach us. III. Heidegger does not begin with a "method". He begins by beginning. He offers a hermeneutic of Dasein, or the historical and cultural self. A hermeneutic is a narrative, a story , whose humans are always already interpreting beings and, from this, the analysis of Dasein can begin. IV. In "Being and Time", Heidegger is guided by the distinction between Being and being. The only priority of human being or Dasein is that we are the beings that ask the question concerning the meaning of Being (what does it all mean?). He is no "humanist", rather it is Being that draws his concern toward Dasein which he proceeds to analyze across the dimension of time. V. Humans relate to the past by being "thrown" into a world. This means we are socialized and have a language and a view of the self already. Thus, it is <b>...</b> From: shinobirastafari Views: 93 3 ratings Time: 44:52 More in Education Posted on 25 January 2012 | 10:00 pm

the handy humanist handbook-a review Jennifer Hancock has another book! "the handy humanism handbook" www.jen-hancock.com outside of the title sounding like an indoctrinatel catechism it actually is a fair and concise "volume" on the basic tenets of the philosophy known as humanism. Now...I dont like being told what the hell to believe.....BUT I dont mind being offered a non confrontational way to investigate shit. this is one of those books. www.jen-hancock.com its short and to the point in most places and centers on the philosophy mostly. there are chapters on: history, definition, and a Q&A sort of part that posses some common questions that humanists often run into. Its also a great jumping off point for a lot of in-depth study of the points that get glossed over. www.jen-hancock.com SUCH AS: I think the history could have been a little longer to reflect the rise of atheist thought that set the stage for the humanist movement. we need to be aware that without some of these persons that spoke out against the oppression of religious/political dogma and authority we might not have had a humanist movement. people like: Hume, Hobbes, Spinoza, Darwin, Marx....etc.....(its a fucking long list). BTW...Jen, Thanx for pointing out the philosophical disaster that islam put ITSELF through and has yet to recover from.

The Great Dictator - Great Speech for Humanity Charlie Chaplin's inspirational speech Speech text: "I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness - not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there's room for everyone and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men's souls - has barricaded the world with hate - has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost. The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in man - cries for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all.

Indiana Senate Bill No. 89 (teaching creationism)
exact wording from the bill.
http://www.in.gov/legislative/bills/.../SB0089.2.html
Quote:
"Sec. 18. The governing body of a school corporation may
offer instruction on various theories of the origin of life. The curriculum for the course must include theories from multiple religions, which may include, but is not limited to, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Scientology."
I think this is a bad idea considering how badly public schools present "evidence" for evolution, but it could have a positive result in breaking up the monopoly that evolutionist have. This might also allow young minds to see the truth of the Gospels

why do you guys think of this bill?

Superman, Amazon Religion Forum

Atheism is perfectly legal in America today. The problem with most Atheist is they only want to harass the honorable people of faith. As you know they therefore are just activist seeking attention that they didn't receive through a good faith based family structure. So, as I stated earlier an Atheist is just a loon for all intense and purpose in the eyes of the other 91% who do believe in religion.

Ming the Merciless, Moonbattery

Allah is not God but a sand monkey’s idol. It is called also the Kaaba, a so-called moonstone meteorite on display at the caboose or grand mosque…PURE IDOLATRY!!!

It can be speculated that these sub human desert rats use similar black stones to wipe themselves, and since they are all ardent sodomites, you can make the connexion as they use the same stone “tool” as tribal totem then idol that they imposed on the Middle East by massive genocides.

Dave Blount, Moonbattery

[Starbucks takes a position in favor of same-sex marriage.]

According to Kalen Holmes, executive vice president for Partner Resources, destroying the concept of marriage, encouraging lethal disease-spreading sexual deviance, and pandering to militant perverts are “core to who we are and what we value as a company.”

Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality reminds us that despite the best efforts of the moonbats running Starbucks, we are not yet living in Sodom or Gomorrah:

“It’s just very sad because corporations, including Starbucks, they seem so much more solicitous of 1 to 3 percent of the population than the many, many millions of pro-family, mainly Christian consumers who oppose the redefinition of marriage.”

Yet again, the silent majority is spat on. But we do have a voice if we speak with our wallets. As LaBarbera notes,

“It’s so easy, you just get your expensive cup of coffee somewhere else.”

Get it somewhere else and it probably won’t be as expensive.

Le Chien Rouge, Free Republic

It’s only a matter of time before atheists like Jessica Ahlquist demand:

1) the state not allow Christian Churches on public roads throughout this country because it creates the illusion that the state endorses religion.

2)Demand Churches remove their crosses and silence their bells so not to offend non-believers

3) Cities like St Louis and San Diego change their names because the word Saint endorses a religion.

4) The military remove all Christian Chaplains so not appear to endorse religion.

5) Public College/high school sport programs remove the ‘Hail Mary’ pass from their playbook.

6) Prayer in public will not be allowed anywhere because it might offend non-believers.

7) Christians wear a giant C on the left side of their chest so they can be easily identified and thus publicly shunned.

8) One will not be able to shop at a business owned by a Christian, in the name of FAIRNESS,because it gives the appearance of favoring a religious business over a secular one.

9) Biblical Christian(Lucifer and Judas are exempt) names will no longer be accepted on birth certificates so it does not create the appearance of the state endorsing religion.

10) Islam is exempt from All of the above rules in the name of diversity and as an expression of multiculturalism!

savagesusie, Free Republic

Yes...We are repeating history......all postmodernists (movement started in Germany) had a vile hatred for God—particularly the Judeo/Christian God. I see it now here.

This hatred for Christianity and Jews in Germany was exhibited in all the media in the Wiemar Republic. They were great at Mass agitprop....even Bonhoeffer’s mother refused to let her sons go to “Prussian” schools-—they were just for mass indoctrination into secular humanism and she recognized it. (BTW, Our schools adopted their Prussian system—Dewey—of mass indoctrination and after 12 years we create the same mindset as the secular humanists who revile Christian Ethics.)

Although most (or all) of the SA Brownshirts were homosexuals—they used homosexuality to get rid of all their enemies—it was easy to set up people. That is why the Pink Swastika was written-—because homosexuals were claiming victim status in a museum-—but as the book proved, homosexuals were perpetrators of some of the most vicious attacks on the Jews—and their boys. The brutality was incredibly evil because of their sick and twisted godless minds. A lot who were accused of homosexuality weren’t—it was a tool to get rid of Nazi enemies—and all evidence was rigged.
