We usually discover existential structures by fleeing them
• Authentic = anything that helps us discover those existential constitutions that underline
our everyday lives, but are usually not quite clear to us
o Sometimes, the authentic is modification of the inauthentic
▪ This makes us wonder which comes first
• Inauthentic = having the tendency to cover up the structures, to deceive us in
misunderstanding or make us flee from the constitutions
• Existential = structure, underlining our everydayness
o General, conceptual side
• Existentiell = direct, immediate description of what our everyday life is like
It itself is ot; its Beig has ee take aa the Other. … These Others, oreoer, are
not definite Others. O the otrar, a Other a represet the. 164
• Heidegger ist laiig that Dasei doest eist, or that it eists i a ode of priatio,
but rather that Dasei doest eist as itself
o Iterestig topi i Heideggers aout of authetiit/iauthetiit
• The Being that we encounter in Dasein is not Daseis o Beig
o Rather, it is a Being taken over by the Other
o Dasei I
o We dot eed a speifi Other to op our a of liig ut e are opig fro
an undifferentiated Other
o Das Ma = the one
▪ We dot ko ho speifiall the oe refers to
o Why does Dasein take over the pattern of das Man
o Dasei does ot hat to are so uh aout odes of Daseis ehaior
▪ If oe is thirst ad ats to drik ater, oe doest at to start
thinking about the mechanics of drinking water (how), but rather just
wants to drink the water
▪ We can only pay attention to a few such details everyday

Document Summary
Das man; idle talk; curiosity; ambiguity (cid:862)it itself is (cid:374)ot; its bei(cid:374)g has (cid:271)ee(cid:374) take(cid:374) a(cid:449)a(cid:455) (cid:271)(cid:455) the other. (cid:894) (cid:895) these others, (cid:373)oreo(cid:448)er, are not definite others. O(cid:374) the (cid:272)o(cid:374)trar(cid:455), a(cid:374)(cid:455) other (cid:272)a(cid:374) represe(cid:374)t the(cid:373). (cid:863) (cid:894)164(cid:895: heidegger is(cid:374)(cid:859)t (cid:272)lai(cid:373)i(cid:374)g that dasei(cid:374) does(cid:374)(cid:859)t e(cid:454)ist, or that it e(cid:454)ists i(cid:374) a (cid:373)ode of pri(cid:448)atio(cid:374), but rather that dasei(cid:374) does(cid:374)(cid:859)t e(cid:454)ist as itself. Idle talk = average of this intelligibility: average a posteriori, we ha(cid:448)e to e(cid:454)a(cid:373)i(cid:374)e e(cid:448)er(cid:455)o(cid:374)e(cid:859)s patter(cid:374) and then calculate this average, average a priori. It is already given, we do not have to define what this average refers to; we take it for what seems to be the most convenient. I(cid:374)stead, (cid:271)ei(cid:374)g ge(cid:374)ui(cid:374)el(cid:455) free is appropriati(cid:374)g o(cid:374)e(cid:859)s o(cid:449)(cid:374) life patter(cid:374)s as properl(cid:455) o(cid:374)e(cid:859)s o(cid:449)(cid:374: the self is not a substance underlying every dasein. Inauthentic existence: not just a privation of presents of a perfect dasein. Inauthentic existentiell to authentic existential: hermeneutic circle: from inauthenticity to authenticity, 1.
