Abstract

The fundamental ontology considers human being as an entity caring for its own existence. It seems that defining an ontological sense of being of closely linked to the traditional asking for a sense of life. Heidegger however avoids using the term “life” due to its biological and religious connotations. He prefers to talk about “being” and explicates different aspects of being-in-the-world, being toward death and temporariness of life. Living authentically, existence still projects itself and realizes various potentialities of being. Determined to by itself, it does not yield to the pressure of everydayness and of omnipresent the “they”, and in particular it does not avoid questions about the end of being. Heidegger’s existential analytic reflects very well a dilemma of a human being looking for a sense of life. Due to his profound and fundamental ontological studies related to “being”, the thinker is able to effectively protect himself from formulating trivially sounding statements regarding life, like these which unfortunately quite frequently appear in the popular publications related to the philosophy.

Keywords:

Heidegger, philosophy of life, sense of life, fundamental ontology, Dasein, care, existence, being toward death, meaning of being
