I like when you relate your presentation with elements such as long process, functioning in adult life….
I can’t download the video (1/22/2013, 9:00 p.m.) from a RC library computer. I am assuming the others don’t work either. Thanks.

Dear Stephen: thank you for all the marvelous present you have given us opening to everybody your great course on education. I feel already like a friend of yours since I’ve listened several times the complete course. I know how much effort is behind such a complete course and appreciate it fully.
I am almost a doctor of philosophy, I am writing my thesis on education: how would it be to educate based upon Heidegger anthropology, in other words to educate the DASEIN.
I am a 65 years old civil engineer born in Chile that suffered under the dictatorship of Pinochet. As a political prisoner I left the country to Paris, France after the military punch in 1973. I taught at the University in Paris. Then I went to India for four years, since I became interested in oriental philosophy. Back in Chile we overthrew the regime in 1990 and I became a major of ÑUÑOA which is a county of Santiago. After that I have being a councilor.
Seven years ago I started my studies of philosophy at the University of Chile. first I did the Master degree and after that I started my doctorate. I have already finished the courses and I’ve been for two years investigating and writing my thesis .
I have recorded in my iPhone your lessons on education and I listen to them every morning when I go walking. Thank you a lot sincerely for your wonderful present.
