Martin Heidegger spent time in Todtnauberg, a small village in the Black Forest, where he engaged in deep philosophical reflection. His work often delved into themes of existence, technology, and the nature of being. One of Heidegger's significant ideas is the concept of "eternal return," which, while not his own original thought, resonates with Nietzsche’s notion of repeating cycles of existence. In the context of authoritarian regimes, this idea can be metaphorically applied to the recurrence of such regimes throughout history. Heidegger's philosophy might suggest that the cyclical return of authoritarianism reflects deeper existential patterns or failures in human understanding and political structures. The resurgence of authoritarian regimes could thus be seen as a repetition of past failures to address fundamental issues of freedom and existence. www.matthiaskoch.co

As a French person, I can not not quote Jean-Jacques Rousseau, even if he was a Genevan (Geneva was an independant republic in the 18th Century) This quote emphasizes the importance of not allowing the opinions and judgments of others to dictate our lives. It suggests that relying on the perspectives of others can be just as fallible as our own, and that we cannot truly know if they are being honest or transparent with us. This quote encourages us to trust our own instincts and intuition, rather than seeking validation or approval from external sources. It reminds us that we have the power to shape our own lives and make decisions that align with our own truth and authenticity. If you struggle trusting yourself, I can help you.
