Talk:Dasein

message: For further investigation into this topic see lecture series 'The Self Under Siege' by Rick Roderick
Hey there. I'm really not going to edit the article with this [though atm the article reads like nonsense] but if I am my Dasein, it always has its being as an issue and being can be interpreted through our Dasein, maybe it makes sense to say that Dasein is the process of knowing something about your world refracted through self understanding. E.g., I might see a bright light in the sky and believe it to be aliens but because I know that I've been reading a lot about aliens and am often kind of gullible I decide that it's just a plane.
OK this isn't a particularly likely summary of the term but that's what this article needs - not a bizarre attempt my some nobody to refute a professor on a live technical point [as it does at the moment] - but linking the term to something that anyone can relate to. Like saying that 'Dasein' means my humanity, but not obviously incorrect. I think that the importance could be set to highest if that'd mean that such a definition would be forthcoming. People [wikipedia readers] really do care what they are according to existentialism even if it's not the most basic thing in philosophy.
OK and if anyone wants to talk with me here about whether I'm on the wrong track [in defining Dasein as a more reliable way of interpreting the world] then please shout at me nicely. OK thanks!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.134.48.46 (talk) 19:09, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I have added a section on Karl Jaspers’ use of the term “Dasein” because it plays a pivotal part in his philosophy, where he uses it extensively, yet means something completely different to what Heidegger meant by the term. Josh.passmore 13:20, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I think it's the other way around. That page is a copy of this article. To be sure of plagiarism or copyright violation we need a date on the page that's earlier than the date the content was added here. Also if there is plagiraism we don't have to delete it, we just have to provide proper attribution. If it were a copyright violation, we'd have to delete it pronto. Thanks for checking this out.

message: It would appear that in the construction of this page there was no adherence to a uniform standard of citation, let alone a common sources, translated or otherwise. I have made a series amendments to the page; adding proper footnotes denoting the section and page numbers of contested information, quotations where needed, direct in-text citations, ect.... I have also taken the liberty of using the APA format for my citations and footnotes. Similarly, I gather by this talk page that most here have a working knowledge of John Macquarrie and Edward Roinson's 1962 translation. Therefore, I have endeavored to consolidate all citations from this source, and revise those which did not conform to this text. I have refrained from making any groundbreaking syntactical changes to the body of text for this page, although at present I believe it could benefit from a more clear and concise presentation. Hopefully we can revive an effort to clean this page up, since it reads as if a high school student took a cleaver to Heidegger's work.

message: I've added a couple of quotes, taken from Martin Heidegger and Nazism. One where Heidegger discusses the relationship between Dasein and "blood and soil", and another where he invokes the concept in support of the Nazi election campaign. It seems to me that these quotes are pretty clear evidence that Heidegger's philosophy and politics were closely intertwined. However, adding the claim would be WP:OR. Conversely, so would commentary seeking to disentangle them, unless based on WP:RS analysis of the quotes in question  JQ (talk) 06:25, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
