CAN OUR CONSCIOUSNESS TOTALLY / COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND OUR SUBJECTIVITY? WHAT DOES THE NOTION OF “INTERMEDIARY” HAVE TO DO WITH OUR SUBJECTIVITY? • DISCUSS MARCEL’S PRIMARY REFLECTION ON A PERSON WHO EVENTUALLY DISCOVERS THAT HIS BLOOD PRESSURE AND BODY WEIGHT HAVE INCREASED. CAN MARCEL’S SECONDARY REFLECTION BE SIGNIFICANT IN THIS PERSON’S CASE? EXPLAIN. • IS THE IDEA OF “CARE” MADE BY DASEIN BE OBSTRUCTIVE TO THE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT DEATH REALLY MEANS? CAN IT REALLY RESULT TO THE IGNORANCE OF DEATH? EXLAIN. • HOW DOES HEIDEGGER VIEW THE “THEY” IN ONE’S OWN ATTEMPT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT DEATH REALLY MEANS? CAN THE “THEY” BECOME “AMBIGUOUS”? EXPLAIN. • IS DEATH REALLY SOMETHING TO BE FEARED? WHAT IS THE IMPLICATION OF FEAR ON DEATH FOR HEIDEGGER? • IS CONSOLING A PERSON WHO IS GRIEVING FOR A DEAD LOVED ONE BE AN ACT OF AUTHENTICITY AND RATIONALITY ON THE IDEA OF DEATH, SAYS HEIDEGGER? EXPLAIN.
PROBLEM WITH BEING TOO ENGROSSED TO ONE’S ACTIVITIES? TO DISTINGUISH WHAT IS CLEAR? WHO REALLY AM I? QUESTIONS ABOUT ME ARE USUALLY ANSWERED IN REFERENCE TO MY BODY
MY BODY IS BOUNDED BY THE SPACE AND THE TIME FOUND IN MY PHYSICAL WORLD CAN MY BODY ESCAPE THIS LIMITATION?
ARE THERE QUESTIONS ABOUT MYSELF THAT CAN BE ANSWERED NOT IN REFERENCE WITH MY BODY?
Plato: CONFLICT BETWEEN HEAVENLY AND EARTHLY TENDENCIES? TO BE REAL MEANS TO BE WHAT? SEPARATION FROM THE DESIRES OF THE BODY PHYSICAL MATTER DECAYS & HAS ITS END
ARISTOTLE: RELATION OF BODY AND SOUL? SEPARATED? THE RELATION OF BODY TO THE SOUL IS THE RELATION OF THE MATTER TO FORM
MATTER = UNIQUENESS/ RARITY (EXCELLENCE) THE RELATION OF BODY TO THE SOUL IS THE RELATION OF THE MATTER TO FORM FORM = FUNCTION (COMMONALITY)
DESCARTES = CERTITUDE = METHODIC DOUBT PROVING EXISTENCE = REAL ESSENCE OF MAN = HAVING A BODY
MARCEL’S PRIMARY REFLECTION MY BODY IS OUTSIDE THE OBJECTIVE THING THE OBJECTIVE WORLD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME “A BODY” = OBJECTIVE IDEA APART FROM ME
MARCEL’S SECONDARY REFLECTION I RECOGNIZE THAT I AM PART OF THE THING THAT I AM INVESTIGATING (SUBJECTIVE) = “MY BODY” I HAVE SOMETHING TO DO (PARTICIPATE) WITH THE OBJECTIVE WORLD
INTER-RELATIONSHIP OF THE PRIMARY & SECONDARY REFLECTION ON OUR BODY “I” TAKE CARE MY BODY & THE BODY RECOGNIZES MY CLAIM OVER IT
PHYSICAL BODY = INTERMEDIARY CONSCIOUSNESS PHYSICAL WORLD WORLD REVEALS SOMETHING TO THE BODY
INTENTIONAL BODY DIRECTED TO THE WORLD DISCOVERS / RECOGNIZES MEANING IN THE WORLD
MY BODY ACTS ALSO AS AN INTERMEDIARY BETWEEN ME AND OTHER BODIES My body cannot fully state all of my SUBJECTIVITY!
