Welcome to 'Back to the Texts Themselves,' a series on phenomenology. Today I examine Chapter 3, part B, sections 19 - 21 of Martin Heidegger's Being & Time. In this video, I address the following questions: 1) What are substance and extension for Descartes? 2) What are the difficulties in Descartes’ understanding of substance? 3) How is the notion of extension problematic for our understanding of the world?
