What's next? Philosophy students that can't make it through Heidegger's Sein und Zeit?

    Heidigger was writing philosophy? I thought he was just a fat cat Shinra executive.

    most philosophy students don't ever read Heidegger. And those that do aren't doing it outside of a 300/400 level class.

    In my grad program of 25 students, only 2 of us had read any Heidegger and he was not taught at all at my university.

    It was kind of a double edged joke. I'm a former philosophy major and knew Heidegger was dense and not very commonly read. I've personally only read a chapter of his work in the context of the history of philosophy.
