PHILOS 1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Martin Heidegger, Dasein, Decision-Making
Document Summary
The quality of the whole is performed by parts of the whole. Like organs, blood circulation, nerves, immune system, etc. What is a being for the whole to be alive. The being of this whole depends on the parts of its functioning. Parts and their contributions to the whole. Unless these parts are fed, triggered, or impulsed the whole thing organizes the parts in such a way that it will cause them to keep the whole a alive. The whole depends on the functioning of the parts and the parts depends on the functioning of the whole. Heidegger: cannot characterize the parts without having the whole in mind. If you want to describe the whole, then there is life. Meaning dependent on to the ontological difference. To be in thought and to be in love because it means to be in relation to one another. Decision making and choices are inescapable and this is as dasein as possible.
