Dasein is a
concept forged by
Martin Heidegger in his
magnum opus Being and Time. It is derived from da-sein, which literally means being-there/here, though Heidegger was adamant that this was an inappropriate translation of Dasein. In German, Dasein is synonymous with
existence, as in I am pleased with my existence (ich bin mit meinem Dasein zufrieden). For Heidegger, however, it must not be mistaken for a subject, that is something objectively present. Rather it is comparable to the earlier separation of "Subject" from "subject" in the immanentist philosophy of
Giovanni Gentile. Heidegger was adamant about this distinction, which carried on
Nietzsche's critique of the subject. Dasein, as a being that is constituted by its temporality, illuminates and interprets the meaning of being in time. For more information, see other related Heideggerian concepts, such as
being-in-the-world.
