| Apr 17, 2023 at 22:28 | comment | added | Chris Degnen | @Johan I am currently following this up with a reading of On the Essence of Ground (Pathmarks, p.97). It has quite a lot to say about world so far. I'll get back to you later. I think it might end up with the loss of subjectivity in some kind of buddhist-style sunyatta/annata but from a priori. We'll see. Maybe it will be different. | |

| Apr 16, 2023 at 14:54 | comment | added | Johan | @ChrisDegnen I've been re-reading the chapter 25 you quoted. I did not first paid attention to it, but its very rich. It took me some time to understand what could be meant by "Dasein is not itself" but I think that one way to understand it is the following: the highly artificial position of thinking of oneself as an ego, hides (in the mode of the verborgenheit?) the world as the Dasein. And I do agree that in B&T Dasein is world. I tried to explained it in another question (you likely know most of what is written in it but there is imho an illuminating and less known quote of Heidegger). | |

| Apr 10, 2023 at 17:22 | comment | added | Chris Degnen | So Dasein, transcendent as being-in-the-world, then projects its Cartesian moment: "I think ...", and amongst the pre-critical appearance of things, which then the newly-critical, thinking subject can put under new scrutiny, testing physics etc. – these are more thoughts about phenomena that were in the world since transcendence. More of the samo. What does distinguish the subject is a localised focus of influence and affect which is specifically 'mine'. | |
| Apr 10, 2023 at 10:47 | comment | added | Chris Degnen | Dasein comes into being in transcendence; transcends into world (as being-in-the-world) "belonging among the other beings that are already present at hand". – Pathmarks p.110 | |
| Apr 7, 2023 at 20:20 | comment | added | Chris Degnen | @TimSparkles B&T §25 seems to conclude with Dasein as ‘existence’, with the Self as a mode or construct. So it is not beyond subjectivity but necessary for it. As in, I think therefore I (am = Dasein). | |
| Apr 7, 2023 at 19:18 | comment | added | Tim Sparkles | Also I'm not sure that step 1 is actually a necessary prerequisite for the rest of the argument. | |
| Apr 7, 2023 at 19:16 | comment | added | Tim Sparkles | Seems like begging the question: merely asserting that things beyond subjective experience exist, as an axiom. Descartes's first principle asserts/assumes much less. | |
| Apr 5, 2023 at 21:55 | comment | added | Chris Degnen | @Johan This quote at H.116 is in the section that Derrida leads on from in page 120-121. | |
| Apr 5, 2023 at 19:21 | comment | added | Chris Degnen | @Johan Good comment. Replying from B&T [116]: "Dasein is in each case mine, and this is its constitution; but what if this should be the very reason why, proximally and for the most part, Dasein is not itself?" Perhaps Dasein is world, or existence. (I'm still reading about it.) | |
| Apr 5, 2023 at 18:24 | comment | added | Johan | I would argue that Step 1 of OP is not exactly a "reduction to the pure ego". In a heideggerian context, speaking of "subjective experience" does sound risky but what OP seems to ultimately want for this first step is not something like the ego but on the contrary the world (in the heideggerian sense) as projected by the Dasein. | |
