Martin Heidegger on Dasein - Dictionary of Arguments

Gadamer I 261
Dasein/Heidegger/Gadamer: The fact that Dasein is concerned with its being, that it is above all distinguished from all other being by its understanding of being, does not (as it seems to be the case in "Being and Time") represent the last basis from which a transcendental questioning has to proceed. Rather, there is talk of a completely different reason that makes all understanding of being possible in the first place, and this is that there is a "there", a clearing

in being, i.e. the difference between being (German: "Seiendem") and "to be" (German: "sein"). >Nothingness/Heidegger
. Heidegger's hermeneutical phenomenology and the analysis of the historicity of existence aimed at a general renewal of the question of being (...).
Gadamer I 264
Understanding/HeideggerVsDilthey/HeideggerVsHusserl: Understanding (...) is the original form of Dasein, "being-in-the-world" (...). >Hermeneutics/Heidegger. Before all differentiation of understanding into the different directions of pragmatic or theoretical interest, understanding is the way of being of the Da-sein ("being-there"), as far as it is "possibility" and able to be.
[Task of understanding]: to clarify this structure of existence through a "transcendental analysis of existence". >Recognition/Heidegger.
Gadamer I 265
Understanding/Gadamer: Now (...) due to the existential future of human existence the structure of historical understanding becomes visible only in its entire ontological foundation.
Gadamer I 266
History: (...) that we only make history as far as we are ourselves, means that the historicity of human existence in all its movement of the present and of forgetting is the condition for us to be able to visualize what has been.
Gadamer I 267
Hermeneutics/Gadamer: [the question is] whether something can be gained from the ontological radicalization - brought by Heidegger - for the construction of a historical hermeneutics. Heidegger's intention itself was certainly different, and one must be careful not to draw hasty conclusions from his existential analysis of the historicity of existence (>Historicity). According to Heidegger, the existential analysis of existence does not include a specific historical ideal of existence.
