7. Existence / A. Nature of Existence / 3. Being / h. Dasein (being human)

22772	Personality overcomes subjective limitations and posits Dasein as its own [Hegel]
	Full Idea: Personality is that which overcomes the limitation of being merely subjective and gives itself reality - or, what amounts to the same thing, to posit that existence [Dasein] as its own.
	From: Georg W.F.Hegel (Elements of the Philosophy of Right [1821], 039)
	A reaction: This looks like the source for Heidegger's distinctive concept of Dasein. The emphasis in Hegel is on creating it out of subjectivity by an act of choice. For Heidegger Dasein seems to be a primitive concept.
