Translated by Caitlin Crittenden
“Being” is a transcendens.
“being” is rather obscure.
indefinable.
Thus beings “definition” cannot dispense meaning
“Being” is understandable
Everybody is
But the enigma is in darkness
the answer lacking direction
to question means formulation
The formulated question is eminent
seeking is Questioning their whatness
revealing what…
what is a questioner
what is a being
being.
being
“being”
being?
This is fact
the meaning of being is first ungraspable.
beings are “existent”, thatness, reality, validity
[Da-sein]
the exemplary being requires regard to their being
Da-sein
(being) is distinctive
Da-sein
3. Priority
knowledge – a priori
Da-sein is concerned
Da-sein understands itself
ontic ontology
Da-sein has possibilities
existence structures Da-sein
Da-sein possesses this understanding
Exposure of Meaning
Da-sein is us.
a reflection of the world develops a crucial analysis
temporality must be grasped
we become visible in time
the character of Da-sein is a mode of “occurence”
Da-sein is always what was
its past regulates the possible kind of being; history is fundamental
tradition deprives Da-sein
cultures define tradition
destructuring traditional concepts should be positive
what is the compelling connection between the meaning of being and the destructuring of ancient interpretation – the present
time
time
time
time
we question the meaning constantly
“phenomenology” expresses important components
Phenomenon derives from phainesthai
phainomena means “semblance” – reality can express “appearance”
what does appearance mean
appearance is never self-showing
But
appearing is making itself known
what is produced
what is understood
self-showing is a particular characteristic of beings
the horizon shows itself
logos
logos is speech
translated
interpreted
Logos means something (phainesthai)
this is concrete
logos can be false: deceiving
logos may be true – it discovers
Moreover, logos is “relatedness”
what designates this
[“Sachheit”]
what is its essence?
grasp Phenomenology
access its meaning
buried. covered up. distortion. concealment.
There is genuine difficulty in encountering beings
Da-sein confronts the question
meaning Da-sein is the priority
a possibility of existence
a transcendence
Individuation
meaning Da-sein has uniqueness
Da-sein is being-in-the-world
not objective presence
Da-sein is
was
will be – us
D a-sein
D a -sein
D a – sein
D a – s ein
D a – s e in
D a – s e i n
