Document Summary
Ancient philosophy has framed the question of the being into prejudices and dogmas. Thus there is a need to restate the question. The form of the question previously used is inadequate, being was in sufficiently grasped. Hence there is a need to renew and reformulate the question of being. Very standard philosophical terms are changed in heideggers writing. How to proceed with the interrogation of the question of being. Discussion of being is already a fact, we already have a vague concept of what being is. Hence, if we can clarify our own being, making clear our possibilities in being able to inquire about being, we will understand being much better. Dasein as it turns out, perhaps had a special relationship to being, and to the question of being. The name dasein is chosen to highlight our relationship to being, but also to define the being of all beings.
