Dasein is care, which is why dasein approaches things in the world that are ready-to- hand with concern, and to approach other dasein in the world with solicitude. Only dasein exists, dasein existing is to stand outside of itself. Critiquing, destroying the traditional conception of truth. Aim is not so much to eliminate it, but to show that there is a derivative sense of truth. Relation between mind and thing (mind -> thing: representation (idea) expressing judgment, judgment is true when it corresponds with or matches up with the thing itself, false when it does not.
