KT Answers: Unterwegs zu Heidegger Cul-De-Sac, pt.2
In the second part of our Q&A on corrosive influence of Heidegger, we turn to actual (not in the sense of presence, but in the sense of energeia) texts, i.e. to concrete examples of how he misinterprets Aristole’s notions of energeia, kinesis, entelehia.
We conclude with overall evaluation of Heidegger’s influence and remarks on low grade philosophy found online.
