The Question of Being and Dasein
The podcast episode explores the concept of being and Dasein as discussed by Martin Heidegger in his book 'Being and Time'. Dasein is referred to as a self-reflective being, concerned with its own existence and the question of being. Heidegger argues that questioning is a fundamental aspect of Dasein, creating a being that reflects upon itself and is aware of its own beinghood. The exploration of being goes beyond scientific investigation and requires a prior knowledge of existence. By analyzing the structures that constitute existence, Heidegger aims to establish a fundamental ontology of being.
