Episode notes
Mineness and Authenticity
- The human being, Dasein, is defined by 'mineness': the question of being is mine to be.
- We choose ourselves, winning or losing ourselves through authenticity or inauthenticity.
Everydayness and Phenomenology
- Heidegger emphasizes average everydayness as the starting point for philosophical inquiry, not an illusion to overcome.
- Phenomenology describes this everyday existence as it appears, transforming experience into language.
Being-in-the-World
- Dasein is 'being-in-the-world': a unified phenomenon of existence and world, not a subject separate from objects.
- Heidegger rejects traditional philosophical vocabulary, creating new terms like 'Dasein' and 'existentials'.
