Summary
Being-in-the-world is Dasein’s essential embeddedness in an environing world. “To Dasein, being in a world is something that belongs essentially” (SZ 13). In defending this proposal, Heidegger sets his face against skeptical worries about the existence of an “external world,” and insists that the creature that thinks is – in a way that can appear simply truer to life – also one that interacts with, and acts and moves in, a world around it.
