Exploring the Concept of the 'Ready to Hand' and the Role of Signs
This chapter discusses the idea of the 'ready to hand' and how signs reveal the practical world.

The chapter also provides examples of signs, such as the South Wind and a knot in a handkerchief, and highlights charming anachronistic examples from 'Being and Time'.
