For the most part, I am doing something (sitting around, taking a nap, ignoring the phone, etc.), and in doing things, I am taking a stand on who I am and defining myself in some set of possibilities into the future (being a bum, being lazy, etc.). Heid's point is that such projectiveness is always also situated: it arises from a background of attunment (Stimmung) which limits and defines its possibilities. The vocabulary of mastery, will, knowledge, etc. is too traditional: finite humans can never be "masters" in Descartes's sense, and will and knowledge are too loaded down with traditional mentalistic assumptions. > Charlie > TMB > > > > --- from list heidegger-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu --- > --- from list heidegger-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
