Dasein and Being-in-the-world – Heidegger
at the Eternalised: In Pursuit of Meaning website
The fundamental concept of Being and Time is the idea of Da-sein or “being-there”, which simply means existence, it is the experience of the human being.
In other words, from birth to death, what does it mean to be "there" and not "here". To be "here" or "there" now and not before or later. Existence relative to being out in a particular world at a particular time.
'you', human beings, are 'there', for just a very limited 'moment'. Whereas,
'I' am 'here', ALWAYS.

The world is full of beings, but human beings are the only ones who care about what it means to be themselves.
“A human being is the entity which in its Being has this very Being as an issue.”
The very limited human 'being' is NOT thee eternal 'Being', and NOT confusing the two is BEST.

What could possibly be more obvious?
What 'you' are referring to here, EXACTLY, is NOT even 'obvious', let alone what 'it' is, which you are referring to, being 'obvious', itself.

And yet, clearly, depending on the individual, some will explore this in depth while others will barely consider it at all.
And, it could be SAID and ARGUED, until the question, 'Who am 'I'?' is answered properly AND correctly, then 'you', individual human beings, have NOT even begun to explore AT ALL, let alone IN DEPTH, the True Self, or Being, WITHIN 'you' and WITHIN ALL 'things'.

At least not philosophically. In fact, most leave all that to the ecclesiastics. It becomes a religious matter and there may be any number of Scripts "out there" in their own particular world to choose from.
And here 'you' are PROVIDING just ANOTHER 'script', for us to LOOK AT, and maybe, hopefully, FOLLOW, correct?

Dasein and human beings are interrelated, without one another, there is no being and no meaning. Existence only exists within our being, and the reality without our being is irrelevant.
If a volcano were to erupt without us being there, would it actually have happened?
Well considering the Fact that you just SAID, 'It DID erupt', then, OBVIOUSLY, YES, it ACTUALLY DID happen.

Heidegger would tell us that it would simply be irrelevant.
WHO CARES what SOME people SAY?

“We are ourselves the entities to be analysed.”
And, ONLY when one of you STARTS questioning WHY 'you' do what 'you' DO, then 'you' WILL COME-TO-KNOW WHO 'you' ARE, EXACTLY.

Dasein is what is common to all of us, and it is what makes us entities.
REALLY?
So, what is 'Dasein', EXACTLY, to you?

Again, does one have to be a philosopher to come to conclusions of this sort?
Considering the Fact about what a 'philosopher' is EXACTLY, then the answer to this is BLINDINGLY OBVIOUS.
But, what EXACTLY is a 'philosopher', to you?

Human beings not only exist but in a free will world it is going to dawn on most that they "exist here", they "exist now".
You talk about a 'free will world' here, BUT are 'you', human beings, 'free willed beings'?

And then, rooted in the manner in which I construe the meaning of dasein, individuals may or may not ask themselves the sort of questions that philosophers do.
LOL and what sort of questions are they, EXACTLY?
And, what is the ACTUAL difference between an 'individual' and a so-called 'philosopher'?

They may or may not come to the conclusions that I do regarding the distinction between
I in the either/or world and "I" in the is/ought world.
What is relevant or irrelevant to us not in regard to erupting volcanoes so much as in regard to erupting pandemics or wars or civil strife.
Are you meant to be saying some 'thing' LOGICAL here?
If yes, then what is 'that', EXACTLY?
WHY do you link us to ANOTHER 'forum'?
Would you prefer we READ your thoughts, and RESPOND to you, in 'that forum'?
Why do you not just copy what you wrote SOMEWHERE ELSE and PLACE 'it' HERE?
Or, is this part of YOUR what does it mean to be 'here' OR 'there', questioning?
