That kind of "resoluteness" is not the kind that criticizes certain factical actions (such as those of George Bush or Wal-Mart) but not others (such as those of the UN), which is what you have been attempting. > But you bring H's sayings on fundamental mood -Angst, guilt- into > everydayness, by excusing and in order to excuse actual events. > That is not the meaning of philosophy. It has nothing to do with "excusing" anything (Note that I am also "excusing" government and UN activities from such ontological "criticism"). It is precisely the conflation of ontological Guilt (Dasein as Being-the-basis of a nullity) with ontic guilt regarding particular actions but not others, which brings Angst and Guilt into everydayness.
