It seems to me that it is an Enlightenment model of the mind that makes it
seem puzzling that we are subject to the authentic/inauthentic
disjunction. Moreover, what is most interesting about Heidegger to me is
the way he knocks us way out of the Kantian version of an Enlightenment
picture of mind, the picture that told us that the mind constructed the
world in a particular way, with particular categories, every time, every
day, from birth to death.
On the other hand, I have a problem with our thinking of the
authentic/inauthentic model as though these were based on a real (i.e.,
metaphysical) distinction in reality rather than an uncovering of a
dimension of experience based on this creative metaphorical language.
