[filed under theme 1. Philosophy / H. Continental Philosophy / 2. Phenomenology ]

Full Idea

Being-in-the-world is a phenomenon of 'care' with a tripartite structure: a) projection towards its possibilities, b) thrownness among those possibilities, so Dasein is not free, and c) fallenness among worldly possibilities, to neglect of its own.

Gist of Idea

Being-in-the-world is projection to possibilities, thrownness among them, and fallenness within them

A Reaction

Sounds a bit Californian to me. Just living among the world's possibilities is evidently a bad thing, because you could be concentrating on yourself and your own development instead?
