Heidegger's historical horizon — and why QM goes further

00:28:08 — Heidegger’s historical horizon — and why QM goes further

Heidegger gets Žižek halfway: reality is always disclosed within an epoch, a historically embedded horizon of meaning. What the Greeks called real and what we call real are not the same world simply differently described, but different configurations of intelligibility. Quantum physics, however, forces the additional move Heidegger stops short of: asking what stands outside every such horizon — the Real that cannot be assimilated into any epoch’s reality.
