Re: Falling. Must we fall?

***

Please, please: dreyfus is only one of many access routes into
heidegger's thinking.

But Heidegger himself offers at least a first point that must be
taken into account as one worries about the analytic consequentiality
of such an analysis of falling. resolve. and authenticity.

Proximally and for the most part Dasein is inauthentic, and
it follows from that that any modification, including authenticity
is grounded in inauthentic being.

in one's deepest and most constant being, one is inauthentic, fallen,
authenticity is only possible on this selfsame basis. Nor does it
change fallenness but takes it over.

Just one of those other "ways" among so many neglected by the Berkeley
Yale set ... it's called continental philosophy.

Casually yours,
Babette E. Babich
