Abstract/Summary:
Heidegger in his book Being And Time restated question of being and requested the meaning of being ,then proposed this concept—Dasein(Being-there)as undertaker of meaning of being,which indicates diversion since western philosophy had thought about being.Heidegger carried on the ontological analysis about the phenomenon of people who belong to Dasein and constructed Foundmental Ontology, namely Phenomenology of Dasein or Hemeneutics of Dasein.Dasein's Being-in-the-world means its there ,namely Lichtung of its disclosedness. Disclosedness of Dasein consists of state of mind, understanding and falling. Under nothingness(no reason and no ground) of thrownness,Dasein discloses and understands its Being-in-the-word.In its daily world, Being-with of Dasein as"They"falls into nothingness with the other people altogether ;Dasein by fear experiences nothingness of the world.Therefore , Dasein exsists under nothingness and is to be with nothingness.The essence of Dasein lies in its"to be"and being exsisting. Being of Dasein is going toward death,or going to die in advance,namely, Being-toward-the-death. Being of going to die is not an end of being but Being toward the end. Totoality of Dasein'structural is care.In its totoal structure,care is ahead of itself-Being already in a world-as Being alongside entites within-the-world. Structure of care also implies that itself is Being toward the death.Resoluteness in answer for conscience as expectation of death attestes an authentic being of Dasein.The primordial unity of the structure of care lies in temporality.The unity of a future which makes present in the process of having been is designated as temporality. Temporality of Dasein is ecstatical,and its essential chracteristic is temporalizing.The finite future is temporalized primarily by that temporality which makes up the meaning of anticipatory resoluteness. Temporality ultimately reveals people as Dasein will be finite and be dead,therefore,death is primordial phenomenon of time.To be of Dasein is being toward future and is Being toward death.Nothingness is not deny of Statement and is not nihilism as well,then it is.Death is also nothingness. and it is. Being with nothingness and Being toward death have shown that Dasein is holder on place of nothingness and guardian of being.Nothingness makes being of Being-there disclosedness, and nothingness as death reveals truth on being of Dasein itself. Nothingness and death are also the whole basis of human being's exsistenial value and home of human being's being.
