Being and Time: An Interesting Book You Probably Shouldn’t Read

Image
I just spent the last two months doing a deep dive trying to understand Martin Heidegger’s seminal work, Being and Time . You probably shouldn’t read it. It’s also one of the most interesting and thought-provoking books I’ve read in the last decade. This post is my attempt to reconcile those two beliefs. The reasons not to read Being and Time are obvious. The book is only half-finished. Of what was written, the second division is so muddled, that even after taking a companion class with dozens of hours of lectures, I still have no idea how to make sense of it. Also, Heidegger was a Nazi . It’s not clear how much Heidegger’s politics influence his writing. Especially around 1927 when this book was published. Still, there’s an undeniable ick factor.

We reject the experience in front of us: Not liking the way other people are acting (totally justified, they’re idiots!) Getting mad at ourselves for messing up again (you dumbass, why are you always doing that??) Shutting ourselves off to the uncertainty of whatever is going on, by distracting ourselves (ugh, I just can’t) Complaining about other people, often just in our heads (I don’t know why they have to be that way!) Shutting down, wanting to exit, when things get hard (I can’t take this anymore, why does she always have to complain??) Avoiding the discomfort or fear of something difficult (umm, that’s too hard, I’m going to tackle email!) This rejection of our experience is why we so often get frustrated with other p...
