Heideggerian scholars keep utilizing the phrase "background practices" as a substitute or equivalent for being.
Background practices are things like instinctive social behavior that is hidden from your understanding such as the way you stand when you meet and greet a friend or stranger.
When you enter a cathedral, you behave in a reverential manner without knowing exactly why..
Why call these sublogical or prelogical behaviors "being"?
Why not call them implicate and intuitive social pressures? Why not culture? Why not undiscussed group pressures?
