Heidegger In Twelve Minutes

Here's the thing. At the very, very beginning: There is no such thing as Being. It's all Phenomena. Being as anything in itself is a mistake/illusion of grammar and syntax, which is harder not to be duped by in German than in English. Ontology is impossible--or, simply, twaddle. I like "Authenticity," however--and admit that the German word for it is even more satisfyingly self/subject-oriented--and I confess that, in my capacity as a Buddhist Proselyte, what I strive most to nurture, foster, discover is, exactly, Authenticity in Humankind  and the World. Quite as if (I believed that) it existed.
