Not really. Allow me to clarify. When I use the word "paradigm" I use it in it's generic English language sense to mean "A typical example of something" ( Encarta ), rather than to be synonymous with the concept of a worldview. So in the case of the red Ferrari, we're not simply discerning that certain things are different, but that those things represent "typical examples", and in order to do that we have to have some previously existing and sufficiently complex framework of "typical" that allows us to recognize and make comparisons.
I'm not sure what you mean by an "active image". I simply mean an imagined image ( or object ), in this case an imaginary red Ferrari, without reference to any particular material object ( in this case a materially real red Ferrari ).
I'm just relaying what was actually said in the audio. However it may well be another one of those things that either the professor or Heidegger finds convenient to either discard or integrate depending on the situation.
Do you really need me to start keeping quotes and timestamps from the audio? I've just listened to all four parts of the Introduction plus Lecture 01, and he's done it several times. If you've actually listened to it yourself more than once it's impossible not to notice. Furthermore the professor tends to sound quite unsure about what it is he's trying to get across, as if he doesn't really get it himself sometimes. Perhaps this is just an act for the student's benefit. I don't know, but that's not what it sounds like.
Beginning, middle, end ... is there really any difference 
? Anyway, nothing has been done yet to reasonably illustrate dualism isn't true. Furthermore I would submit that nothing can be done. If you believe otherwise, instead of using a mountain of rhetoric and lecture material that does nothing to address the point of the illustration we've been using, let's just stick with the illustration. It's really quite simple and elegant and it's all we need to resolve the issue one way or the other. If you can show us how an imaginary red Ferrari and a materially real one are in fact one in the same, then we can discard dualism. Until then all the philosophical wrangling in the world isn't going to invalidate dualism.
