Transcendence, world and freedom in the environment of Being and Time of Martin Heidegger

Abstract

This article examines some of the fundaments of one of the best known thesis in the environment of Being and Time: «the man is forming world» (Der Mensch ist weltbildend). I propose that the characterization of Dasein as «transcendence» (Transzendenz), Heidegger wants to emphasize that Dasein has a fundamental determination that is forming world, founded on «freedom» (Freiheit)
