Listen Later

In this episode we will be talking about how to embrace your authentic self from the philosophy of Martin Heidegger. Martin Heidegger embraced existentialism and is considered as one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century. 

Martin Heidegger suggests that humans are distinct from animals and objects because we have a unique way of existing in the world. Unlike animals, we have self-awareness and consciousness, allowing us to reflect on our place in the world and actively engage with it. This active engagement with our surroundings distinguishes human existence from mere presence. He calls this human existence "Dasein," which means "there-being" in German, emphasizing our connection to the world. By understanding that we can think about ourselves and make choices, we can be true to who we really are and follow what matters to us. Being authentic means actively shaping our lives and the world, living by what we believe in. In this video, we'll explore how to embrace your authentic self from the philosophy of Martin Heidegger. So here are 5 ways to embrace your authentic self from the philosophy of Martin Heidegger.
01. Choose freely

03. Recognize Facticity
04. Embrace Being-in-the-World
05. Practice being towards death
