Sorge (Care) Provides Unity of Dasein's Structure As A Whole. Division One Also

Division One of Heidegger's Sein und Zeit concludes that care provides unity to Dasein's structure as a whole. It also sets up the need to further investigate the internal split in Dasein between authentic and inauthentic existence. Authentic existence understands death as a concrete presence that constantly informs life without interfering, whereas inauthentic existence views death ambiguously and with curiosity. Through death, Dasein reaches the end of everyday care and existence. Authentic care reflects on death as a question of life. Average everydayness signifies death through banality and leads to the worst kind of evil by disguising and domesticating itself.

4. without death Dasein's structure cannot be genuinely comprehended.


Division One of Heidegger's Sein und Zeit ends up with the general conclusion that
Sorge (care) provides unity of Dasein's structure as a whole. Division One also
prepares the stage for a further quest, insofar as it shows the internal split in
Dasein, between Dasein and das Man (average existence), as well as the difference
between authentic and inauthentic existence.
7. In order to be an existentiel, that is, a concept of existential investigation, death
has to be "mine," and moreover, death has to be understood not as not-yet but as
always already in life. Death has to be the concrete presence of an abstract fact,
and this fact has to constantly inform existence without interfering in it.
Authentic vs inauthentic- The latter is the way death looks to one engaged in
inauthentic existence, or das Man. The former, on the other hand, is death in the
framework of authentic existence, or Dasein.
8. The inauthentic understanding of death is always characterized in terms of
ambiguity, by way of Gerede, and as a matter of curiosity.
10- It is through death that Dasein has hit the bottom, reached the end of the
empirical existence of care and everydayness.
11- Authentic Sorge is the reflection of the question of death as a question of life.
13- Everydayness is fatal to man only in the mode of averageness. (...)Average
everydayness, in the final analysis, signifies death.
Because of its banality, evil does not terrify. However, evil as banality may -
and in fact does - turn out to be of the worst kind, an all-permeating, most terrifying
evil, because of the mendacious disguise that helps it get "domesticated" and
"adopted.
