In response to Kevin's recent post on disclosedness, perhaps we could make
this simpler by returning to Heidegger's interest in 'destructing' existing
metaphysical distinctions. In this case, the phrase Dasein is (or is as)
its disclosedness, may simply be a pointing towards and a destructing of the
metaphysical view of human being that separates the 'in here' from the 'out
there'; if Dasein stands ek-statically, it is "the there" (Da-sein) as the
clearing, such that it 'is', that is, understands itself 'as' (or in terms
of), those things and others with-which it is in-volved. Thus, as you say,
Dasein comes to understand itself ("reveals itself") as the being who exists
as (and in) the out there and does not simply interpret the out there form
somewhere in here.
I said this would be simpler, sorry.
