Wow, that's incredibly boring lol how'd you get onto that? So far I've stayed clear of Heidegger and Nietzsche mostly, so I don't really know all that much about your topic. I've studied more mainstream philosophers like Hume, Descartes, Kant, Leibniz and Russell. I'm only first year too, so nowhere near writing dissertations, thank God

Third year options were a delight, I had the choice of lots of good things for one option, and lots of shit ones for the other. I picked Heidegger as the best of a bad bunch, and was essentially told "go, write something about Heidegger's philosophy." I personally hate Heidegger because he writes like a berk, using normal words to mean something completely different, but still using the word in both its senses in the same sentence just to purposely confuse you, so even when you know what it all means, you're not quite sure if you've got what he's saying. Nietzsche is marginally more interesting so I thought I would use Heidegger's magnum opus on him as a starting point for my dissertation. Bad move, as it happens.
Im progressing far too slowly because even though I know what I want to do, I cant actually do it as I have to spend hours dissecting each sentence to make sure I've understood or expressed a term properly. Which means my politics dissertation (which is longer) is suffering as I cant work on that properly being so distracted by this. 3rd year, and more specifically my work organisation, is poo.
