Subject: Being and Time - Div I, Ch 1 questions


I was reading through Chaper 1 of Division I of Being and Time
(Macquarrie & Robinson trans.), and I had difficulty understanding a few
passages.


1. p69 "This cannot mean, however, that Dasein is to be construed in
terms of some concrete possible idea of existence."  What is a 'concrete
possible idea'?  I wonder if something was lost in the translation....

2. The first paragraph on p70, and the first full paragraph on p72. 
They both seem to be saying somthing important, but I cannot, for the
life of me, puzzle them out.

3.  p70-71, he discusses and contrasts 'Exestentialia' and
'categories'.  I assume by 'categories' he is referring to Aristotelian
/ Kantian style categories.(?)  If not, then to what is he referring?


I would apprecaite any comments.
