Martin Heidegger on Concern - Dictionary of Arguments

Gadamer I 267
Concern/Heidegger/Gadamer: It is a mere misunderstanding, if one sees in the temporality structure of concern a certain existential ideal, which one could counter with more pleasing moods (Bollnow)(1), for example, the ideal of carelessness, or with Nietzsche the natural innocence of animals and children. One cannot deny that this, too, is an ideal of existence. With this, however, it is true that his structure is the existential one, as Heidegger has shown it.

, >F. Nietzsche, >Zeitlichkeit, >Temporality, >Existence/Heidegger.
Gadamer I 268
Gadamer: (...) the meaning of what Heidegger calls existential is fundamentally missed (...) if one thinks that one can play off a certain existential ideal against the existential of "concern".
Whoever does this, misses the dimension of the question, which "Being and Time" had opened. In the face of such short-circuited polemics, Heidegger's experiment was entitled to refer to its transcendental intention, in the same sense that the Kantian question was transcendental. From the outset, his question exceeded all empirical differences and thus also all content-related idealizations.
