Episode notes
Dasein's Structure
- Dasein, or being-in-the-world, is a unified whole.
- It's structured as articulated thrown projection, combining thrownness, projection, and discourse.
Care and Temporality
- Dasein is not simple but multifaceted, oriented toward future, past, and present.
- This temporal stretch is unified by care, marking human fulfillment.
The Three Elements of Care
- Dasein is defined by three elements: existentiality (projection), facticity (thrownness), and falling (everydayness).
- Care unifies these, but temporality is its more fundamental basis, linked to finitude.
