I haven't had a chance to get over to iwaiw in a while, but I'll try to take a look. With regards to "blank slate," Heidegger doesn't advance much of a theory of developmental psychology; he's mainly concerned with Dasein, that order of being that's capable of taking a stand on its own being, so I assume he's mainly talking about adults. Being a teacher and having young kids, I tend to flesh out his theories with what I know of devpsych, but it's not spelled out in <i>Being and Time</i>. Cool.

And you weren't clear as to why your post evoked similar thoughts in me as my current pursuit of the problem of universals. :-) I fleshed out my thinking some more over in i wonder as i wander, btw. "there?s always life prior to that moment" Does Heidegger start from the pov that we begin as blank paper and passively experience, sort of similar to Kant or Locke, maybe? That may not be the correct way to put it, but it is the best I could come up with before my first cup of coffee.

“there?s always life prior to that moment”

Does Heidegger start from the pov that we begin as blank paper and passively experience, sort of similar to Kant or Locke, maybe? That may not be the correct way to put it, but it is the best I could come up with before my first cup of coffee.
