we don't

Haleem, Oxford

honestly though if you're reading it in English you're so alienated from what actual muslims would read its just silly to be picky. Being pedantic about the authenticity of of the translation is like fact-checking the mini version of Paris they built in disney world

>>8600964
Why? It shouldn't be a grand mystery. We're dealing with language, tangible finite things. If the Arabic says one thing (or is even using a word that can mean several things but Muslims actually understand it to say x) then choose the best possible word and provide a footnote that explains the ambiguity.

I just don't want something that is clearly trying to "make a Westerner think the religion is more peaceful than it is" or which "is biased to make Islam seem more violent than it is."

I just want to read the book, a standard version that a person who wants to read the Qur'an would read.

What is Heidegger's relationship with existentialism? Did he care about authenticity and angst and all that sort of thing?

>>8600724
It's difficult. He really is the framework for Sartres thought, it's very obvious. The phrases "existence precedes essense" and "(in)authenticity" (eigentlichkeit / uneigentlichkeit) are all from Being and Time. There are some important differences too though.

First of all, Heidegger tries not to make value judgements about peoples lives. The "inauthentic" life for him is the most common and isn't judged negatively in any vulgar sense. "Bad Faith" and the discipline of criticizing people for not being in enough pain is Sartre's thing.

He isn't interested in God as he pertains to authenticity. Sartres euphoric atheism was his own addition to his analyses.

Biographically, Heidegger found Sartres work to be extremely lucid and interesting in the beginning, but changed his mind later and told him he was shite. Possibly because of Sartre's marxism, though.

Was this sufficient answer? I might be forgetting something.

>>8600724
Oh yeah, angst is a big thing in Heidi though. It's almost theological.

He distinguishes angst from fear, by saying that fear is fear of something in the world (eg. ontic phenomena), whereas angst (Angst) is the fear of being-in-the-world itself, the ontological fear that comes with with possibility to make choices and thus being incomplete in and of oneself. Death in this analysis is the final possibility and the only one that you cannot outpace or push in front of you. Death is thus the most certain possibility, that "completes" the possibilities of the Dasein.

So yeah, a LOT like Sartre in this department.

this reminds me of the /vr/ users who play on a crt, with original hardware, and make their senile mothers drive them to the store to get the genuine sensation of being a kid in the 90s and getting and buying a new videogame.
