Nik's reading sounds very close to Aristotle's metaphysical
doctrine of the 4 causes...with Death for the Final Cause.
So: (1)Dasein is "that-being-which-questions-being", i.e. self-cognizant being,
(2)whose essence is that it exists, i.e. its facticity, (3) whose primordial
structure is
"care", i.e. undifferentiated immersion in-the-world, and (4) whose telos is
death, i.e. non-existence. Is that what we have here: formal, material,
efficient, and
final? Where #1 even preserves Aristotle's, thinking animal, anthropology?
