An Analysis of Martin Heidegger’s Notion of Da-sein

ABSTRACT
One of the problems of philosophy is the meaning of Being. Over it various
thinkers have postulated various ideas. And there have been serious, never-
ending debates on the ideas, which stimulate more and more researches. Martin
Heidegger is one of the philosophers whose idea on the subject is popular. For
him, Being is Da-sein. Although this notion of Being has been widely criticized,
especially due to the intensity of torture that its understanding wields, it
doubtlessly presents an interesting existentialist perspective to interpretation of
Being. This essay aims at applying analytic method of philosophic discourse to
elucidate Martin Heidegger’s notion of Da-sein as Being. And that is motivated
by the need to render a simplified narration of the whole gamut of the concept,
especially to intending students of the philosopher and other readers who find
his original works torturous or completely impossible to understand.
