In a Land of the Blind..

I've decided to treat myself with little haphazard formal schooling in philosophy. In Rijeka, I got a slim booklet on Heidegger.

It is indeed easy to see why the man should be at the same time considered a fake and a thinker.

As all ideas called great are actually simple, perhaps the true virtue being their simplicity and correspondingly - their elegance, H. seems to have devoted a few pages to the problem of authenticity.

It is thus often claimed people wear masks, but this 'philosopher' does not equate authenticity with spontaneity. Indeed, someone's approach can be to be careful, for example. Accordingly - people are always authentic.

Nothing simpler. His story is interesting as well as his 'being in time' is in a philosophical system. Presumptuous, but brave.
