Document Summary

Looking at dasein in its everyday averageness in our existential analytic of dasein. Will take dasin apart and have those parts show themselves to us. Ea: how existential analytic differs from other types of sciences, which are laden with other naturalistic prejudice and presuppositions. Mix-match of inter-subjectivities: when we are " lonely" it"s most absurd--> you can never be lonely unless you"re already with others. 5- beings in as such- existenziels: 4 major existenziels that will allow dasein to show itself. Let"s not presuppose any uniqueness of this entity. Let"s not adopt any presupposition from previous philosophical traditions. A knowing subject- it knows something about itself that makes it unique. Knowledge: " what can i know" as root of project. Buried in critique of descartes, is critique of husserl. While he believed that there were good phenomenological concepts from husserl, Hence, why husserl maintains philosophy as a science.
