I have now spent just over two years reading Heidegger's Being and Time. Along the way I have read two guides and commentaries on the text and have managed to listen to two lecture series on the book, one from Berkley and the other from Harvard. Two years in, I have just made it to Part Two.
In the meantime I've stopped going to church, began to tolerate seven drinks a day, taken to the cigarette, stopped praying, and developed a coarse mouth. Generally speaking, I have descended into disarray; my moral compass has gone limp and I am plagued with routine bouts of sickness both of the body and mind.
Godammit, Heidegger! How I love your incomprehensible and clearly destructive ideas!
