Who is Martin Heidegger

One day I may actually come to some good conclusions about what, exactly, Heidegger is on about. For now, feast your eyes on these wonderful quotes:

"As the ego cogito, subjectivity is the consciousness that represents something, relates this representation back to itself, and so gathers with itself. "

"Making itself intelligible is suicide for philosophy. " (I like this one; at least he's being honest about being completely unintelligible).

"When modern physics exerts itself to establish the world's formula, what occurs thereby is this: the being of entities has resolved itself into the method of the totally calculable. "

Oh, also-- Heidegger wrote a book about Nietzche's writing, because he was totally the best person to decipher confusing works of philosophy. Yep, that happened.

... you'll automatically be making a donation to The Acumen Fund, working to solve global poverty.

Doesn't that feel good?
