Heidegger's philosophy

Heidegger's philosophy explores the nature of human existence, emphasizing that our primary way of being is through "being-in-the-world," meaning we are fundamentally connected to our environment and others. He argues that we often live on "autopilot," absorbed in daily routines, which disconnects us from a deeper awareness of our mortality and authentic self. By reflecting on themes like "being" and "nothingness," Heidegger encourages us to confront our finite nature, fostering a more genuine and meaningful engagement with life. His work reshapes how we understand consciousness, existence, and our place in the world.
