Dimension-by-Dimension Evidence
What each persona's writings reveal about their stance on each of the six dimensions.
Time
Martin Heidegger
Time is the horizon of Being. Dasein is essentially temporal: being-toward-death gives time its finitude and authenticity.
Space
Martin Heidegger
Dasein is being-in-the-world; space is relational, derivative of the structures of involvement and equipmentality.
Matter
Martin Heidegger
The ready-to-hand (Zuhandenheit) and present-at-hand (Vorhandenheit) are derivative modes; matter is emergent within the existential analytic.
Observer
Martin Heidegger
Dasein is the entity for whom Being is at issue. Active engagement (Sorge — care). Cosmic-ordering: the clearing of Being (Lichtung) is the metaphysical happening.
Energy
Martin Heidegger
Energy is not thematized directly, but the critique of technology's "standing reserve" treats energy as bringing-forth that has been reduced to calculation.
Information
Martin Heidegger
Being is disclosed (alētheia — unconcealment). Personal information ends with death, which is one's ownmost possibility.
Internal Tensions
Where each persona's working synthesis strains against itself.
Heidegger's Nazi affiliation and the Black Notebooks' antisemitism are not separable from his philosophical project: his diagnosis of "rootlessness" and the destiny of the German people in Being and Time, and the later denunciations of "world Judaism" in the Notebooks, are continuous with his ontology. Reading Heidegger requires confronting whether the philosophy survives the politics, and how much of the philosophy was conditioned by it.
