User:M4rx/The They

In the work of Martin Heidegger, the concept of The They (Das Man) is crucial. The They constitutes the contexts of Dasein; the possibilities of Dasein within the world . Heidegger's treatment of Das Man results in a notable difference between his fundamental beliefs and those of Jean-Paul Sartre, and their conceptions of authenticity and inauthenticity

Overview and Context

In Being and Time, Heidegger attempted to restructure ontology away from the metaphysics of Descartes. Heidegger is trying to understand what it actually means "to be", and to understand what "is" constituted by being. The only way in which this question can be answered is through the "being of beings"
