A purview of being
the ontological structure of world, reference (verweisung) and indication (indikation)
pp. 71-94
Abstract
This paper examines another crucial step in the development and unfolding of Heidegger's hermeneutic phenomenology. In this essay, an attempt is made to outline the "projecting-opening" of world as the key to a phenomenological access to being. This projecting-opening makes explicit both the error of the attempt by "pragmatism" to reduce world to the totality of the self's dealings with equipment on the one hand, and, on the other, the importance of translating Heidegger's key phrase of "das Seiende im Ganze" in a manner recalling Dasein's situation within the world, that is, as "beings in a whole" rather than "beings as a whole."
