    What’s next? Philosophy students that can’t make it through Heidegger’s Sein und Zeit?

        I know, Heidegger is very dense too. As a former Philophy major I got to pick my turf.

        It is a bit curious to me that what you obviously thought you’d be interested in doesnt grab your attention.

        You just Kant always get what you want.

      most philosophy students don’t ever read Heidegger. And those that do aren’t doing it outside of a 300/400 level class.

      In my grad program of 25 students, only 2 of us had read any Heidegger and he was not taught at all at my university.

        It was kind of a double edged joke. I’m a former philosophy major and knew Heidegger was dense and not very commonly read. I’ve personally only read a chapter of his work in the context of the history of philosophy.
