Heidegger, authenticity and moral agency




4:00  "Our identities are handed to us."
6:00  Kierkegaard
7:00  Jews who don't want to live as Jews
8:00  Obeying God's laws as Jews and gentiles
13:00  Monarchy of Denmark
15:00  Kierkegaard died in 1855.
18:00  We should question our traditions.
19:00  Existentialism
Heidegger 
20:00  What are we to do with ourselves?
21:00  If we were orphans
22:00  Truth, Logic and Morality
23:00  Religious groups are the most powerful groups in the world.
Religious and political solutions to our moral and social problems
24:00  The transition from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy in Denmark
25:00  Choosing the best religion in the world
Western civilisation is more than people being white.
26:00  What did Heidegger mean by authenticity?

27:00  Is being principled being authentic? If so, what principles should we hold if we have no religion? We have the following options: the religion of our parents and ancestors, or the political orthodoxy of our country, or the values that we create for ourselves. 

If we were rational, we would choose to be a member of the most powerful religious group in the world with a longstanding track record with the protection of the most powerful being conceivable with the clearest most easy to follow book of rules.

28:00   Fundamental British values
29:00  A proper religion would have codified moral principles.
30:00  We have to choose a moral system and a religious group whether we like it or not.
