THE HEIDEGGERIAN CONCEPT OF DASEIN AND ITS ONTOLOGICAL MODALITY: DAS MAN

The paper presents a non-standard interpretation of the celebrated Heideggerian existential das Man in terms its oft-underrated unity with Dasein—an entity special ontic-ontological prerogative. present authors intend to highlight this essential theme specific Dasein being-in-the world, covering many subsequent and adjacent existentials analytics hermeneutics, especially Mitsein/Mitdasein. Dasein’s existence-essence is based on structure possibilities, hence free, spontaneous choices, while Das concrete choice certain modus existence rendering—as it were—all other modi invalid non-operational. Although Heidegger far from taking up an ethical or moral stance traditional understanding, he quite adamant that phenomenon invalidates truly human project existing one’s own possibilities—to wit—be oneself (Jemeines).
