Derrida's Heideggerian "always already" may refer to something more substantial. However, as Gasche says somewhere: "[it] can never fully become present". There is more to Dasein and his world than meets the eye. Thanks! Kindest regards, Henk --- from list heidegger-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
