Explicating Martin Heidegger's "Dasein" as being-in-the-world
Keywords:
Being-with-others, Being-as-care, Existentiality, Facticity, FallennessAbstract
In a bid to carry out the philosophical analysis of man, Heidegger employed the term "dasein" which is in line with his characteristic philosophical system. Meanwhile, Heidegger invented various terminologies in his existential analysis of human existence. The human existence posited for him two possible modes of existence: authentic and inauthentic modes of existence. In authentic existence, man fully attained consciousness of the self which leads to self-realization and eventual self-actualization and fulfillment. On the contrary, inauthentic existence cripples an individual person within the ambiance of "they" and the individual's ownmost potentiality-for-being remains in the "they". Nevertheless, Heidegger postulates that although man is thrown into the world with all its facticity and limitations, yet he has all the possibilities of attaining an authentic existence or decides to remain in inauthenticity of existence. The writer primarily focuses on the methodological approach of philosophical appraisal as a necessary measure to perfect objective of the study. The researcher finally comes to a conclusion that man is a being in the world in the midst of unavoidable limitations and facticity.
