Your reading of Heidegger's relevance to the the text is nuanced and interesting. Here are a couple moments I found particularly effective: 1) "I am uncertain as to why world is in single quotations here, perhaps it’s meant to distinguish the physical world and Dasein’s perception of the world. I am unsure." 2) "Being a part of the whole."<br /><br />You do very well with the Heidegger - not that everything here is "correct" in a final sense, but you are working with it very productively, which Heidegger himself would certainly find more important - and with applying Heidegger to HOL. I do think that you tried to cover too much of the Heidegger passage - depth over breadth would have been good, especially given that you have a particular section of HOL in mind that you're angling toward.<br /><br />You also dodge, more or less, the 2nd part of the prompt, where you're asked to engage with the difficulty as difficulty, rather than just explicating it. One way to approach this (which you do kind of begin, but don't return to) would be to say something about what Johny's *failure* to comperehend means, or what work it does.<br /><br />Good job.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16302919444091859459noreply@blogger.com
