timeletsFrom an email I received today:
Heidegger is going to be my next philosophy project. I read Being and Time a few years back and even got some ideas out of it, but it's time to revisit the book. BTW, Kant and Heidegger complement each other well because Kant focuses on "I think", while Heidegger digs into "I am." Across centuries, they argue quite convincingly about what's more relevant to human life. Both of them deserve a good read because sometimes I think and sometimes I just am, i.e. a typical disjoint union of a being.
Please keep in mind that you are not a Dasein, nor do you “have” Dasein. Dasein is a way of being that a human being manifests, even performs, in existing. A particular human being (ontic) instantiates the conditions of the possibility of being Dasein (ontological).
