Document Summary
Focused on a critique of this notion of object". The world itself is also not an object, the sum total of things -> this interpretation is inappropriate to the phenomenon. We encounter things in the world as being ready-to-hand, within the context of significance. Talking about the world as we live it everyday. P. 149 -> taking on the notion of subjects. P. 150 meaning of the world subject, self, i. A substance is something that underlies other things, its properties: e. g. The book is a substance in which the colour blue exists. Descartes believes the i" is what underlies everything else, that we are the subjects, that we are the fundamental being that underlies everything else. Subiectum means what underlies properties, the basis for everything else. To say that dasein is a subject is to say that dasein is a thing that underlies a manifold of properties.
