That’s incredible, any resources that you know of that discuss the topic?

I’m not letting /r/philosophy stand in for the field…more like letting it reinforce beliefs that I already held due to other reasons.

For the last two years of my study I was reading primarily Heidegger, Husserl and Merleau-Ponty, and before that I was into social and political ethics. So no, I’ve never heard of him.

I love how /r/philosophy is just filled with posts like this where some guy you’ve never heard of is “challenging” something, or proposes some idea that’s been discussed ad nauseum for literally thousands of years. This is why I stopped at my masters after deep dives into ethics and phenomenology—philosophy is amazing, but it is no longer a productive field of study, despite the delusions of academics that it is.
