mmm, very helpful explanation for someone new to Heideggerian Terminology.

the definition is in the text. It only makes sense in the context of heidegger's philosophy. This is one of the main criticisms that the terms cannot be defined apart from the text. but that is kinda the point... the system and its parts only make sense in the context of the system. the definition is holistic.

the dasein is the nexus of the unconcealment
of the unfolding of the being of Being contradistinct from the being of things

that's just normal; it's nothing to wonder at. i would wonder if it was otherwise.

Indeed, I wonder the same thing.

how sad is it that this only has 3,281 views, while a stupid chick who decides to show her ass in a thong gets a million views!

In English it means "there being" but I think looking to a definition to give you an understanding of the concept is just the wrong approach.
To understand it its best to just read Heidegger. I think that his need to differentiate the conscious individual is that he wanted to avoid any of the preconceived notions using more normal phrases would cause. Essentially I would just take it to mean "individual" and the nuances in the concept of "Dasein" will come out as you read.

Can anyone give a straight-forward, direct definition of Dasein? I have looked at several texts including philosophical dictionaries, companions/reading guides and Heidegger himself and havent found anything coherent.

I was lucky enough to meet Dreyfus at Berkeley. Truly a great professor and a most generous mind. |
