Middlesbrough is a small town in the North East of England. In what seems like a tribute to George Orwell, the council have just installed CCTV cameras fitted with speakers. As the enthusiastic press manager tells us, it will greatly help create a safer Middlesbrough:
“For example, if an operative now sees someone dropping litter, they can tell them to pick it up”
The press release continues, detailing how it will drastically reduce instances of Thoughtcrime.
Existential Phenomenology.
I have just received back my first Philosophy essay of the semester. The aim was a short (2000 word) summary and explication of Heideggerian existentialism. It is explicitly only a look at part of his philosophy, that of our existence with other people (being-with), though it touches on our relation to the world (being-in-the-world). The essay is available as an Adobe pdf version of the essay for those of you who want to read/crit. it. (remember to leave a comment 
)
A few instances of Heidgerian lingo are not explained. The structure could also be tightened up a bit. Given the time restraints however, all is good.
