If I have to explain Heidegger to a 5 year old, this is the book I’d use.

Also good pre-reading if you don’t mind spoilers. I skimmed this before starting B&T and it helped me contextualize things. So this is kind of a rereading for me.

Helpful comm on p25

this way of being is fundamentally unlike other ways of being. As we saw in ¶6, ignoring this distinction is the original sin

Rereading again, this is my fav:

Being and Time begins by quoting a great philosophical authority not for his knowledge but for his perplexity, then tells us that we don’t understand the question, and demonstrates this by giving us the answer which means nothing to us at this point.

I was already thinking H is being very repetitive, and then I get this:

we have run through the three facets of being-in-the-world, thus completing its initial interpretation ... now we begin turning the Hermeneutic Spiral by returning to these ideas at a deeper level.

So, more repetition. Thanks for the headsup.

Stuck wondering whether Dasein is also a corporeal thing. Relevant comm:

if existentialia and categories are as radically different as Heidegger says, then ... “Being-in ... a state of Dasein’s Being ... cannot think of it as the Being-present-at-hand of some corporeal Thing (such as a human body) ‘in’ an entity which is present-at-hand”
Cleary Bitw is a state. Does that rule out corporeality of Dasein?
